Composites formed by interstitial polymerization of vinyl monomers in polyurethane elastomers: 1. Preparation and mechanical properties of methyl methacrylate based composites
TL;DR: In this article, high impact cast sheets of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) were prepared by the interstitial polymerization of the monomer in a polyurethane (PU) gel which had been prepared in a state of dilution in the polyomer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Composites formed by interstitial polymerization of vinyl monomers in polyurethane elastomers: 3. The role of graft copolymerization
TL;DR: The high impact strength of composites prepared by interstitial polymerization of methyl methacrylate in polyurethane elastomer gels does not appear to involve graft copolymerization mechanisms for maximum efficiency in contrast with conventional rubber-modified thermoplastics as discussed by the authors.

On the size of the secondary mechanical loss peak in rubber-modified polymers
Clive B. Bucknall,M.M. Hall +1 more
TL;DR: The relationship between the structure and dynamic mechanical properties of rubber-modified plastics have been studied theoretically using linear viscoelasticity theory combined with Hashin's equations for elastic composites.

Characterization of epoxy/copper interphases using nanoindentation
TL;DR: In this paper, a method of applying multiple adjacent indentations without overlap was introduced, and nanoindentation was used to investigate the interphase between Cu and two different epoxy systems; aminecured and anhydride-cured.

A. P. Unwin,Peter Hine,I. M. Ward,O.A. Guseva,O.A. Guseva,Thomas Schweizer,M. Fujita,E. Tanaka,Andrei A. Gusev +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a simple representative volume element (RVE) of an isolated sphere of the minority rubber component in a surrounding sheath of polystyrene matrix embedded in a homogeneous effective medium.

Thin sections. I. A study of section thickness and physical distortion produced during microtomy.
TL;DR: The thicknesses of sections of n-butyl methacrylate polymer were determined by ellipsometry, and correlated with the color shown in reflected light, and agree well with optical theory and with previous published data for thin films.
