Hydrazodiisobutyronitrile（Cat No.:M017825） is a chemical compound used primarily as a radical initiator in polymerization reactions. It is structurally characterized by two isobutyronitrile groups linked by a hydrazine bridge. This configuration allows it to decompose thermally, generating free radicals that initiate the polymerization of monomers into polymers. Its effectiveness as an initiator comes from its ability to produce radicals at relatively low temperatures, making it suitable for synthesizing various polymers under controlled conditions. Hydrazodiisobutyronitrile is particularly valued in the manufacture of plastics, resins, and other polymeric materials where precise polymer chain control is necessary.
