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:

Kinetic aspects of water sorption in polyester-resin/glass-fibre composites
Giovanni Camino,Maria Paola Luda,A. Ya. Polishchuk,M. Revellino,R. Blancon,G. Merle,J. J. Martinez-Vega +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a model for simultaneous water sorption in and solute release from moderately hydrophobic materials has been generalised in order to take into account experimental findings on chemical and physical processes induced by water penetration into the composites.

A Cellular Kirigami Morphing Wingbox Concept
TL;DR: In this article, a cellular hexagonal morphology and kirigami techniques are used to produce a wingbox for morphing applications, which can be completely or partially folded, providing some shape-adapting capabilities for possible morphological applications.

Tensile and elastic properties of segmented copolyetheresteramides with uniform aramid units
TL;DR: In this paper, the tensile and elastic properties of segmented copolyetheresteramides with uniform length aramid units of uniform length were investigated, and the fracture stress of the polymers was mainly affected by the degree of strain-induced crystallisation of the PTMO phase and the molecular weight of polymers and not by the aramide content.

Recycling of polymeric materials from carpets and other multi-component structures by means of supercritical fluid extraction
TL;DR: In this article, a method of extracting pure components from a multi-component structure by dissolving each component at an appropriate temperature and pressure in a supercritical fluid and then varying the temperature and/or pressure to extract particular components in sequence is presented.

Sliding behaviour of pure polyester and polyester-PTFE filled bulk composites in overload conditions
TL;DR: In this article, the performance and failure modes in overload conditions are investigated for large-scale test samples under extremely high loads (190-3380kN, corresponding to 8-150 MPa), providing more accurate design information for construction of sea-lock or crane guides.
