TL;DR: A comparison of the values of the glass transition temperature (T g ) measured on cooling and the limiting temperature ðT 0f Þmeasured on heating as a function of cooling rate is performed for a polystyrene sample using both capillary dilatometry and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, a one-way analysis of variance and thermal analysis was performed to examine the influences of the contents, types, and forms of chemical foaming agents (CFAs), as well as the use of coupling agents, on the density reduction (or void fraction) and cell morphology of extrusion-foamed neat high density polyethylene (HDPE) and HDPE/wood-flour composites.

TL;DR: In this paper, both wood flour and cotton cellulose powder were treated with acrylic acid-functionalized polyethylene and maleic anhydride-functionalised polyethylen (maleated polyethylenes) for surface modifications, and chemical changes resulting from these treatments were followed by a study of the Fourier transform infrared and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy spectra.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of coupling agent's functional monomer (acrylic acid vs. maleic anhydride) and base resin (polyethylene (PE) vs. polypropylene (PP)) types on the tensile and flexural properties of high-density polyethylene-wood-flour composites were investigated using environmental scanning electron microscope.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of nanoconfinement on the cure kinetics and glass transition temperature of a bisphenol M dicyanate ester/polycyanurate material was investigated.
