TL;DR: In this article, a thermogravimetric study in both nitrogen and air atmospheres has been carried out on unfilled and graphene-reinforced solid and foamed polycarbonate.
100 citations
TL;DR: In this article, a simple and general method has been developed for the preparation of polymeric materials with super-hydrophobic surfaces, which is applicable to a large number of polymers, thermoplastic or thermoset.

23 May 1989TL;DR: In this paper, a process for polycarbonate molding compounds consisting of halogen-free polycarbonates, graft polymers, phosphorus compounds, tetrafluoroethylene polymers and copolymers was described.
Abstract: The invention relates to polycarbonate molding compounds consisting of halogen-free polycarbonates, graft polymers, phosphorus compounds, tetrafluoroethylene polymers and, optionally, copolymers and/or, optionally, other additives known per se and a process for their production.

TL;DR: In this article, the characteristics of the cold drawing of Lexan polycarbonate are compared with the several proposed mechanisms of cold-drawing, and it is concluded that the mechanism of Lazurkin and Fogel'son, involving biased segmental motion, is correct.
Abstract: The characteristics of the cold-drawing of Lexan polycarbonate are compared with the several proposed mechanisms of cold-drawing It is concluded that the mechanism of Lazurkin and Fogel'son, involving biased segmental motion, is correct It is indicated that this mechanism easily explains the neck formation, and it is suggested how the glass temperature enters into cold drawing
