Principles of polymer engineering
TLDR
In this article, the elastic properties of polymeric solids and their properties of rubber are discussed. But they focus on the structure of the molecule rather than the properties of the solids.Abstract:

Triptycene side unit effects on compressive yield strength in polycarbonates
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of triptycene in polycarbonate was studied by adding a low concentration of triptycene-containing polymer chains, and using compression testing.

An investigation into the tensile and impact strength of hybrid nanocomposites reinforced with graphene, kenaf fiber, and basalt fiber
TL;DR: In this paper , the tensile and impact strength of nanocomposites reinforced with graphene nanosheets, basalt, and kenaf fibers were examined by response surface methodology (RSM).

Polymer Waste-Based Highly Efficient Maleated Interfacial Modifier in iPP/SCF Composites—Some Notes on the Role of Processing in Their Thermal and Dynamic Mechanical Properties
TL;DR: In this paper , an atactic polypropylene containing succinic anhydride grafts obtained through a chemical modification process performed in solution was used as an interfacial additive to polyamide/short carbon fiber composites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Study the creep of tubular shaped fiber reinforced composites
TL;DR: In this article, a creep test was made of either the full tube or specimens taken from it, and the creep behavior, showed that the observed strain tendsto appear much faster at higher temperature as compared with that exhibited at room temperate.
