Environmental effects on poly-p-phenylenebenzobisoxazole fibers. I. Mechanisms of degradation
TL;DR: In this article, the degradation mechanisms of polyp-phenylenebenzobisoxazole (PBO) fiber were investigated and it was found that expo- sure to moisture results in the loosening of the fiber morphology leading to an increase in the number and size of defects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deformation and yield of epoxy networks in constrained states of stress
Robert S. Kody,Alan J. Lesser +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of epoxy networks were made with molecular weights between crosslinks, ranging from 380 to 1790 g mol-1, and tested in stress states ranging from uniaxial compression to baoxial tension.
Non-isothermal crystallization of Poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT)/clay nanocomposites.
Xianbo Hu,Alan J. Lesser +1 more
TL;DR: The non-isothermal crystallization of intercalated poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT)/clay nanocomposites was investigated quantitatively by different methods as mentioned in this paper.

Brittle to ductile : Fracture toughness mapping on controlled epoxy networks
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of epoxy networks with controlled molecular weight between crosslinks (MJ) was constructed with a difunctional epoxy resin and a mixture of aliphatic amines.
