Bonding between polyolefins and steel is widely found in applications as diverse as steel wire/cord reinforced polymers, and automotive components where steel and thermoplastics are commonly used. As polyolefins are highly unreactive, because of their low ...
A process for making hollow composite structures or vessels which includes the steps of: A) heating a mixture of thermoplastic matrix and reinforcing fibres wrapped over a rigid or semi-rigid thermoplastic liner or bladder above the melting point of the th ...
This paper presents a fabrication of polymer microchips with homogeneous material technique due to surface treatment by plasma before sealing. UV laser photoablation was used for fast prototyping of microstructures, and oxygen plasma was used as a surface ...
Abstract—The practical adhesion of maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene (MAH-PE) to galvanised steel was studied using 3-point flexure tests, before and after hydrothermal ageing. Before bonding, the electro-galvanised steel was treated with γ -aminopropy ...
Equilibrium positions on the Li+-PEO and on the Cu++-PEO ground state potential energy surfaces have been determined by ab initio molecular dynamics. Our results confirm the previously proposed jump mechanism for ion diffusion in polymer electrolytes. The ...
The increase of the elongational viscosity of recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is investigated with the aim of producing closed-cell foams by means of a cost-effective reactive extrusion technique. A recycled PET grade containing controlled cont ...
Polyethylene terephthalate films surface modified with polyethylene oxide of mol wt 18,500 g/mol (18.5 k) by a previously described technique, were implanted in the peritoneal cavity of mice, along with their respective untreated controls, for periods of 1 ...
We report a simple way to synthesize carbon nanotubes and nanostructures from the solid phase. Vacuum annealing of diamond-like carbon (DLC) films or polyethylene mixed with catalyst in argon atmosphere leads to the formation of nanotubes and nanostructure ...
A simple solution technique was used to incorporate polyethylene oxide (PEO, of 5000, 10,000, 18,500, and 100,000 g/mol) and other water-soluble polymers such as polyvinylpyrrolidone and polyethyl oxazoline into the surfaces of commonly used biomedical pol ...
The polycondensation of bis(ethylene glycol) terephthalate to poly(ethylene terephthalate) was investigated by thermogravimetric measurements at 260-300 Deg. A model is developed which enables to ext. the apparent kinetic parameters from the measured mass ...
