Influence of curing modes on crosslink density in polymer structures.
Mui Siang Soh,Adrian U J Yap +1 more
TL;DR: Results of this study suggest that polymerization with PD resulted in a lower crosslink density and gave rise to polymers with an increased susceptibility to softening in ethanol.

Effect of Natural Fibers on Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Natural Fiber Polypropylene Composites Studied by Dynamic Mechanical Analysis
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of natural fibers on thermal and mechanical properties of polypropylene composites using dynamic mechanical analysis were discussed. But the results indicated that glass transition was slightly shifted to lower temperatures in composites.

Crystal structures of α and β forms of poly(tetramethylene succinate)
TL;DR: In this paper, the structure of the α and β modifications of poly(tetramethylene succinate) (PTMS) were analyzed by X-ray diffraction: the β form appeared with an application of stress.

Effects of carrageenan type on the behaviour of carrageenan/milk mixtures
TL;DR: In this article, the apparent hydrodynamic diameter of casein micelles was determined as a function of hydrocolloid concentration at 60°C and during cooling to 20°C.
