Structural changes in glassy polycarbonate induced by cyclic stresses
(Elsevier, 1991-06-11)
Glassy polycarbonate was subjected to cyclic stresses and the changes in its structure were studied by DSC, positronium annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS), and SAXS. On increased exposure to cyclic loading, the ...
Mechanical properties of in situ composites based on polycarbonate and a liquid crystalline polymer
(Elsevier, 1994-08)
The mechanical properties of in situ composites based on blends of polycarbonate and a liquid crystalline copoly(ester amide) (Vectra B950) have been studied as functions of the liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) concentration ...
Toughening mechanisms in core-shell rubber modified polycarbonate
(Elsevier, 1990-12)
We have conducted a study of toughening mechanisms in rubber modified polycarbonate systems in order to evaluate the sequence of deformation events which improve fracture toughness. We conclude that cavitation of the rubber ...
Rate and temperature effects on the fracture toughness of a rubber-modified epoxy
(Elsevier, 1993-04)
A series of three-point bend fracture toughness tests was performed at various loading rates and temperatures on both rubber-modified and unmodified epoxy specimens. The fracture toughness of the modified samples was ...
Polyfunctional cubic silsesquioxanes as building blocks for organic/inorganic hybrids
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 1998-10)
Cubic silsesquioxanes, [RSiO 1.5 ] x , potentially offer access to organic/inorganic hybrids wherein the exact shape, size and mechanical properties of the inorganic component are perfectly defined. Furthermore, by ...
Ultrasonic measurements of the elastic moduli of liquid crystalline polymers
(Elsevier, 1992)
The five independent elastic moduli of extruded rods of two thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers, Vectra B900 and Vectra A950, and the nine independent moduli of an injection-moulded bar of Vectra A950 have been measured ...
The preparation and morphology of PPO–epoxy blends
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1993-05-10)
Poly(phenylene oxide) (PPO) was found to be miscible in diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) based epoxy. The PPO–DGEBA system exhibited upper critical solution temperature (UCST) behavior. The cloud point temperatures ...
Fatigue craze initiation in polycarbonate: study by small-angle X-ray scattering
(Elsevier, 1994-09)
The structural changes that occur during the incubation stage of tensile fatigue failure of glassy polycarbonate are investigated by means of small-angle X-ray scattering. The results are interpreted as the formation of ...
Preparation and characterization of maleimide-terminated poly(arylene ether sulfone) oligomers of various molecular weights
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1991-11-20)
A new variation in the bismaleimide (BMI) resin family, maleimide-terminated poly(oxy-1,4-phenylene sulfonyl-1,4-phenylene) oligomers, has been synthesized. The preparation of oligomers ( n = 1–12) is described in this ...
Epitaxial growth and characterization of GaAs/Al/GaAs heterostructures
(Elsevier, 1990-04-01)
We report on transmission electron microscopy, secondary ion mass spectroscopy, X-ray and Raman scattering studies of GaAs/Al/GaAs heterostructures grown by migration enhanced epitaxy.
