Characterization of the poly(vinyl alcohol)/cellulose whisker gel spun fibers
TL;DR: In this paper, the preparation and characterization of the nanocomposites reinforced with highly oriented cellulose whiskers (CWs) in a polymer matrix was reported, and a DSC study of the PVA-CW fibers showed no crystallization exotherm during cooling after PVA melting due to the transformation of PVA to polyene structure caused by the surface sulfate groups of the CWs.

Relationship between abrasive wear and microstructure of composite resins.
Robert A. Draughn,Alan Harrison +1 more
TL;DR: The in vitro abrasion resistance of seven commercial composite resin restorative materials has been measured and analysis of the composite microstructures shows that abRasion rates are dependent upon the size, hardness, and volume fraction of particles in the material.

The relationship between microstructure and toughness of biaxially oriented semicrystalline polyester films
TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between microstructure and toughness of biaxially stretched semicrystalline polyester films was investigated, and it was shown that the toughness of a polymeric film is determined by the interconnectivity of the crystalline phase within the amorphous phase and is greatly influenced by the degree of crystallinity and underlying crystalline morphology.

New phosphate glass/polymer hybrids—Current status and future prospects
Kevin Urman,Joshua U. Otaigbe +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new class of inorganic glass/organic polymer hybrids with enhanced benefits has been developed by blending low-Tg phosphate glasses with polymeric materials in the liquid state, to afford new hybrid materials with significant improvements in properties that are impossible to achieve from classical polymer blends and composites.

A contribution to the understanding of polyethylene/ionomer/polyamide‐6 blends
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of EMA as a compatibilizer in polyethylene/EMA/polyamide-6 ternary blends was investigated with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and laser small-angle light scattering.
