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:

An Artificial PVA-BC Composite That Mimics the Biomechanical Properties and Structure of a Natural Intervertebral Disc
TL;DR: The novel bionic structure and formulations of the PVA-BC materials mimicked the biomechanics and structure of natural IVDs, and ensured dimensional stability under prolonged compression, reducing the risk of impingement on the surrounding tissue.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mechanical effect of the existing cement mantle on the in-cement femoral revision.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated whether leaving an existing fatigued and aged cement mantle degrades the mechanical performance of a cement-in-cement revision construct, and found that pre-revision fatigue and ageing of the cement may not be deleterious to the structural performance of the revision construct.
Improvement the Properties of Cement Mortar by Using Styrene Butadiene Rubber Polymer
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of styrene-butadiene co-polymer latex (SBR) emulsion on the physical properties like bulk density and setting time, and mechanical properties like compressive strength and flexural strength of cement mortars is studied.

Inter-relationships between mechanical properties of glassy polymers from nanoindentation and uniaxial compression
TL;DR: In this paper, a report of the interrelationships between mechanical properties of glassy polymers, obtained from nanoindentation and uniaxial compression, is presented.

Characterisation of uncured carbon fibre composites
TL;DR: In this article, a series of characterisation techniques were developed drawing from techniques in the literature to build a better understanding of the mechanics involved in forming of aeronautical structures from carbon fiber.
