Mesoscale dynamics and cooperativity of networking dendronized nonlinear optical molecular glasses
TL;DR: A new and straightforward nanoscale methodology, involving shear modulation force microscopy and intrinsic friction analysis is introduced, which promises to be a straightforward analysis tool to guide organic material synthesis from a molecular mobility perspective, particularly for applications that impose nanoscales constraints on the system.

Ultrafine high performance polyethylene fibers
TL;DR: The first gel-electrospinning fibers with diameters less than one micron have been fabricated in this paper, and the resulting fibers exhibited Young's moduli of 73 −±−13 −GPa, yield strengths of 3.5 −± −0.6 GPa, and toughnesses of 1.8−±−0.3 GPa on average.
In Situ Study of Strain-Dependent Ion Conductivity of Stretchable Polyethylene Oxide Electrolyte
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effects of tensile strain on the ion conductivity of thin-film polyethylene oxide (PEO) through an in situ study and demonstrated that both in-plane and through-plane ion conductivities of PEO undergo steady and linear growths with respect to the tensile deformation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Degradation and Viscoelastic Properties of PLA-PCL, PGA-PCL, PDO and PGA Fibres
TL;DR: In this article, the degradation rate of aliphatic polyester fibres was investigated in three different environments (water, NaCl and PBS) at constant temperature (37°C).
Journal ArticleDOI
Crystalline modifications of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers induced by a tensile drawing : effect of the molecular weight
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of a tensile drawing on the crystalline organization of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers of different molecular weights has been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (d.s.c.).

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.
