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:

Matrix-induced nanoparticle interactions in a polymer melt: A molecular dynamics simulation study
TL;DR: In this article, a molecular dynamics simulation study of the influence of a polymer melt matrix consisting of bead-necklace polymers on the effective interaction between two spherical nanoparticles was performed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Segmented copolymers with monodisperse crystallizable hard segments: Novel semi-crystalline materials
TL;DR: In this article, the melting temperature of the short segments is high, provided that they can H-bond and/or contain aromatic groups, and upon cooling, they crystallize fast, demonstrating a very high crystallinity, and only a small crystallization window is needed.

Dielectric spectroscopy characterization of relaxation process in Ni/epoxy composites
TL;DR: In this article, the dynamic dielectric properties of Ni/epoxy composites with different Ni filler additions were investigated using broadband dielectrics spectroscopy spectrometer with the frequency range 1-10 7 ǫ at the temperature of −20 to 200°C and showed three relaxation processes: (1) Maxwell interfacial polarization at low frequencies; (2) a primary α- relaxation process at near glass transition temperature (T g ); and (3) ionic conduction relaxation at the middle frequencies between 100-°c and 200-c.

Effect of carbon black on light transmission in laser welding of thermoplastics
M. Chen,Gene Zak,Philip J. Bates +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the Bouguer-Lambert law and an apparent absorption coefficient to describe the total laser energy attenuation in scattering polymers with and without carbon black (CB).
