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:

Book ChapterDOI
Sensor Skins: An Overview
TL;DR: This chapter focuses on sensors and sensor networks that can achieve strains on the same order as elastomers and human skin, which makes these sensors compatible with emerging wearable technologies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Micro-ultrasonic welding using thermoplastic-elastomeric composite film
TL;DR: In this article, a composite film of PMMA microspheres in PDMS is used as the fusion layer to avoid trapped air and to restrict the flow of the melted polymer during welding.

Dynamical mechanical behavior of copolymers made of styrene and methyl methacrylate: Random, alternate and diblock copolymers
TL;DR: In this article, the dynamics of copolymers made of styrene and methyl methacrylate and of different architecture (three diblock, two random and one alternate) have been studied using a dynamic mechanical spectroscopy technique (DMTA).
Dissertation
Analysis and development of new materials for polymer laser sintering
TL;DR: In this paper, the Stable Sintering Region (SSR) is defined as the region above the melting point that is the minimum requirement for sintering to occur and an upper limit beyond which polymer deterioration impedes on mechanical properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analyzing the long-term creep behavior of composite pipes: Developing an alternative scenario of short-term multi-stage loading test
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a procedure to replace a long-term creep test under a single stage loading with short-term tests with multi-stage loading, which can reduce the duration of experimental creep test.
