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:

Exploiting new materials and processes for higher productivity: use of advanced composite technologies
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated how different processes can be selectively utilised to meet desired design and manufacturing conditions, and the relative extremes of low and high performance applications are compared for generally available low-and high productivity processes.

Effect of molecular weight on brittle‐to‐ductile transition temperature of polyetherimide
TL;DR: In this paper, the fracture and yield strength of polyetherimide was evaluated over a temperature range of 23 to 140°C for materials with number-average (Mn) and weight-average molecular weight (Mw) ranging from 15.6 to 22.8 and 36.3 kg/mol, respectively.

Design and characterisation of polymeric pressure sensors for wireless wind sail monitoring
Alessandro Rossetti,R. Codeluppi,Alessandro Golfarelli,Michele Zagnoni,Alessandro Talamelli,Marco Tartagni +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a capacitive differential pressure transducer for wind sail monitoring is presented, which is suitable to be implemented in a wireless sensor network for monitoring wind sail. But the authors do not consider the performance of the sensor in terms of accuracy.

Investigation into the mechanical performance of pipe grade HDPE with included silicon chips as a basis for future sensors
TL;DR: In this paper, a large number of small polyethylene samples were produced using compression molding and tested in different stress modes such as tension, bending, Charpy impact and flexural creep, with respect to different chip sizes (4 and 16mm), shapes (circle and square), numbers (one and two), orientations and position as well as sample dimensions and chip-polyethylene interface.

Incorporation of PVP into PEG/PMMA based binder system to minimize void nucleation
TL;DR: In this paper, the polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) was incorporated into the polyethylene glycol (PEG) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) binder system to increase the workability of the PEG/PMMA system for conventional metal injection molding.
