Stress - strain isotherms and thermoelastic properties of crosslinked amorphous polyoxyethylene in compression
(Elsevier, 1975-05)
Stress-strain isotherms at a number of temperatures in the range 45-85[deg]C have been determined for a compressed, amorphous polyoxyethylene network swollen with a constant amount of non-volatile diluent. The observed ...
Curing reaction and product properties of polysulfones terminated with active functional groups
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1991-11-20)
The curing processes of maleimide-terminated polyether sulfone oligomers ( M n from 1100 to 3000) and ethynyl-terminated polysulfone prepolymers ( M n from 2600 to 12000) were investigated by means of DSC. The ...
Volatile combustion products of polycarbonate and polysulfone
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1972-04)
Thermal analysis of polycarbonate and polysulfone has shown each plastic to undergo a two-step decomposition, the first step involving production of high-boiling chain scission and volatile products, the second resulting, ...
An investigation of the maximum experimental safe gap anomaly
(Elsevier, 1979)
The "safe gap" is defined as the maximum gap between two close-fitting, flat, machined metal surfaces that will just prevent an explosion within a vessel from producing a propagating combustion wave in the gases that ...
On the dynamic structure factor, S(q,[omega]), of polymers in dilute solution
(Elsevier, 1981-08)
In principle, interpretation of dynamic scattering experiments requires theoretical calculation of either intermediate scattering functions S(q,t) or dynamic structure factors S(q,[omega]). Although dynamic scattering ...
Crosslinking chemistry for high-performance polymer networks
(Elsevier, 1994-11)
A new thermally reactive monomer has been designed and synthesized that brings novel crosslinking chemistry to high-performance polymers. This monomer (XTA) is a derivative of terephthalic acid and was based on the thermal ...
Determination of the electro-optical coefficient r33 and refractive index of para-substituted poly([gamma]-benzyl--glutamate) derivatives
(Elsevier, 1994-01)
The electro-optical coefficient r33 and refractive index of films of poly([gamma]-benzyl--glutamate) and the p-nitro, p-fluoro and p-trifluoromethyl derivatives were determined as a way to assess the non-linear optical ...
Analysis of the volatile combustion products of vinyl plastics
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1969-02)
The extensive use of plastics for insulation and building materials has created interest in the possible toxicity of their combustion products. Three poly(vinyl chloride) homopolymers, a vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate ...
Interfacial adhesion and toughening mechanisms in an alloy of polycarbonate/polyethylene
(Elsevier, 1992)
Interfacial adhesion and toughening mechanisms in an alloy of polycarbonate/polyethylene (PC/PE) are investigated using transmission electron microscopy. In contrast to the general speculation, it is found that the PE ...
Critical analysis of the graphical determination of hansen's solubility parameters for lightly crosslinked polymers
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1996-12-19)
The most widely accepted method for determining Hansen's three-dimensional solubility parameters (3DSP) for crosslinked polymers entails graphically estimating the center of a spherical region in 3DSP-coordinate space whose ...
