Dynamic mechanical properties of polyimide/poly(silsesquioxane)-like hybrid films

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of polyimide/poly(silsesquioxane)-like (PI/PSSQ-like) hybrid films with a constant PI block length was studied and the activation energy of the α transition depends on the chain length of the PI block.

Elastic Response of Nanocomposite Poly(vinylacetate)- hydroxyapatite With Varying Particle Shape

TL;DR: In this article, the mechanisms by which hydroxyapatite nanofillers promote reinforcement in polyvinylacetate matrix is investigated, and the effect of the nanofiller particle shape on the elastic response of nanocomposite was examined using dynamic-mechanical thermal spectroscopy.

Determination of the Mechanical Properties of Epoxy Silica Nanocomposites through FEA-Supported Evaluation of Ball Indentation Test Results

TL;DR: In this article, a continuous finite element analysis (FEA) simulation method of the ball indentation hardness test is introduced in order to describe the deformation behavior of nanosilica composites and with this to extract precisely the material's stress-strain behavior.

Synthesis and characterization of a low solubility edible film based on native cassava starch.

TL;DR: Lower amounts of starch led to more flexible, less opaque and soluble films, while the combination of higher levels of starch and chitosan was responsible for lowering films water vapor transmission rate, and the films showed interesting properties for fruit surface coating.

The Influence of Water Sorption of Dental Light-Cured Composites on Shrinkage Stress

TL;DR: The purpose was to evaluate the influence of the water sorption of composite materials on polymerization shrinkage stress generated at the restoration-tooth interface and the decrease in shrinkage strain was observed.
