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:

High-strength semi-crystalline hydrogels with self-healing and shape memory functions
TL;DR: In this paper, a non-covalent approach and bulk photopolymerization method of hydrophilic and hydrophobic monomers to generate high-strength self-healing hydrogels with shape-memory effect was presented.

Reversible and irreversible compaction of ultrafiltration membranes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the effect of compaction on the performance of three different ultrafiltration membranes and found that the regenerated cellulose membrane compacted significantly more than the tested polyethersulphone membranes.

Antimicrobial peptides towards clinical application: Delivery and formulation.
TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive review of the recent progress of the delivery and formulation of antimicrobial peptides towards clinical application is provided, by categorizing the different strategies as driven by physical interactions or chemical conjugation reactions, and carriers ranging from inorganic based ones (including gold, silver and silica based solid nanoparticles) to organic ones, including micelle, liposome and hydrogel.

Tensile, creep and fatigue behaviours of short fibre reinforced polymer composites at elevated temperatures: a literature survey
TL;DR: In this article, a broad survey of the literature on mechanical behaviour of SFRPCs at elevated temperatures is presented, which consists of tensile, creep, isothermal fatigue, thermo-mechanical fatigue and creep-fatigue interaction.

Crystallisation of PET from the Amorphous State: Observation of Different Rates for Surface and Bulk Using XPS and FTIR
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe experiments which follow the development of trans conformers at the surface and in the bulk of amorphous PET films (∼150 nm thick) annealed above the glass transition temperature T g.
