Tacticity

Tacticity refers to the precise arrangement and structure of side groups along the main chain of a plastic molecule. These side groups are like architectural elements lining the molecular main street. Through the precise placement and orientation of these side groups, the characteristics and properties of the plastic can be significantly influenced.

Tacticity is decisive for a wide range of properties that make up the plastic. It influences not only the hardness of the material but also its dimensional stability, thermal conductivity and even its reactivity in certain environments.
