Tensile mechanical properties of synthetic polymer-paper laminates were measured. The laminates were constructed by hot pressing a sandwich made of a sheet of paper between polymer films. There is complete penetration of the polymer inside the paper; no voids are left. Two different polymer matrices...
The number averaged molecular weight, Mn, determines the mechanical strength, and high molecular weights are beneficial for properties like strain-to-break, impact Intrinsic deformation Our basic question was: where does the intrinsic behavior of polymers originate from and can we understand it? To ...
UNIT 24 Mechanical Properties of Polymers The mechanical properties of polymers are of interest in all applications where polymers are used as structural materials. Mechanical behavior involves the deformation of a material under the influence of applied forces. The most important and most characteristic...
One of the strongest features of this book is its consolidation of information on some extremely important structure-property relationships and their applications to mechanical properties. …An important contribution to the polymer literature and is highly recommended. Polymer News, J.E. Mark, Department...
In this section we will discuss results from the literature on mechanical properties of polymer nanotube composites. Many studies have been published each with a different focus. However, the common theme seems to have been enhancement of Young’s modulus. In order to attempt to compare different...
The effect of compatibility on the mechanical properties of polymer mixtures is discussed. From solution thermodynamics we conclude that for compatible mixtures of high molecular weight polymers the excess internal energy of mixing must be negative. For most polymer mixtures, this results in a negative...

Polymer concrete was introduced in the late 1950s and became well known in the 1970s for its use in repair, thin overlays and floors, and precast components. Because of its properties like high compressive strength, fast curing, high specific strength, and resistance to chemical attacks polymer...

Physical hydrogels have potential in a range of applications, but can have properties that make these applications challenging. Here, the authors report the development of a hydrogel with self-healing and elasticity by formation of nanoscale colloids within the polymer network. ...
