Filler-enhanced polymeric fibers with improved mechanical properties and method for making
TL;DR: In this paper, high aspect ratio filler particles are placed into intimate contact during processing with a polymeric fiber to enhance axial stiffness and strength, and the filler particles serve as templates to orient the molecular structure of the polymeric fibre to enhance mechanical properties.

Molecular orientation behavior of isotactic polypropylene under uniaxial stretching by rheo-Raman spectroscopy
TL;DR: In this paper, the molecular orientation behavior of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) was investigated by using in situ Raman spec- troscopy under tensile tests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oscillatory neck propagation in polymer films: 2
TL;DR: In this article, the oscillatory behavior of neck propagation during cold drawing of polymer films has been studied numerically and previous calculations based on Barenblatt's model considering the temperature rise at the neck have been refined by introducing heat diffusion and the consequent temperature distribution in the film.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toughening of polyester resins through blending with polyolefins
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of blending low concentrations (1 to 10%) of polyolefins on the crystallization and irreversible deformation behaviour of polyester (PET) resins was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical interpretation of the anisotropy and temperature dependence of the piezoelectric constant of polyvinylidene fluoride
TL;DR: In this paper, the anisotropy and anomalous temperature dependence of the piezoelectric constants of polyvinylidene fluoride can be quantitatively explained in a simple model.

The Determination of the Elastic Field of an Ellipsoidal Inclusion, and Related Problems
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that to answer several questions of physical or engineering interest, it is necessary to know only the relatively simple elastic field inside the ellipsoid.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Phenomena of Rupture and Flow in Solids
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of surface scratches on the mechanical strength of solids, and some general conclusions were reached which appear to have a direct bearing on the problem of rupture, from an engineering standpoint, and also on the larger question of the nature of intermolecular cohesion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Yielding of steel sheets containing slits
TL;DR: In this article, a relation between extent of plastic yielding and external load applied was investigated, and panels containing internal and edge slits were loaded in tension and lengths of plastic zones were measured.
