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:

Friction force microscopy of self-assembled monolayers: probing molecular organisation at the nanometre scale
TL;DR: In this paper, the basic principles behind friction force microscopy are described and the application of friction force imaging to self-assembled monolayers is reviewed, and the results applied in the characterisation of a much more complex material, plasma-treated polyester.
Journal ArticleDOI
Constitutive formulation and analysis of heel pad tissues mechanics.
TL;DR: The constitutive model developed to describe the biomechanical response of heel pad tissues takes into account the typical features of the mechanical response such as large displacement, strain phenomena, and non-linear elasticity together with time-dependent effects.

Rheological properties of maleated natural rubber and natural rubber blends
TL;DR: In this article, two types of natural rubber (ADS and STR 5L) were used to prepare maleated natural rubber and the log additive rule was applied to the Mooney viscosity data.

Biomimetic, hybrid and in situ composites
J.E. Mark,Paul Calvert +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, hard tissues are reviewed with an emphasis on the process by which they were obtained and the resulting microstructures, and the properties of the resulting structures are summarized.

Effect of synthesis parameters on thermal behavior of phenol–formaldehyde resol resin
TL;DR: Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to investigate the influence of resin synthesis parameters on the thermal behavior of low molecular weight phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resol resins prepared with different formaldehyde/phenol (F/P) molar ratios, different NaOH/P molar ratio, and different catalysts as mentioned in this paper.
