Architecture properties

Similar patterns of property differentiation are clearly recognized at the macromolecular level. For example, dramatic changes in physical and chemical properties are observed by simply converting a linear topology of common composition to a cross-linked architecture. In traditional macromolecular science, these issues were considered apparent and obvious. However, as novel architectures emerged, new architecture-property relationships have not been so clearly articulated and exploited. Prompted by the synthetic accessibility of many new polymeric architectures based on common compositional monomers... 

Because of the combination of physical, mechanical, and architectural properties of the mineral core, which is in tight contact with the organic phase, it is difficult for attacking agents to permeate the whole system. This may be the major reason why investigators have become discouraged with this approach. 

Cationic synthesis of block copolymers with non-linear architectures has been reviewed recently [72]. These block copolymers have served as model materials for systematic studies on architecture/property relationships of macromolecules. (AB)n type star-block copolymers, where n represents the number of arms, have been prepared by the living cationic polymerization using three different methods (i) via multifunctional initiators, (ii) via multifunctional coupling agents, and (iii) via linking agents. 

Homopolymerization of macromonomer provides regular star- or comb-shaped polymers with a very high branch density as shown in Fig. 1 a,c,e. Such polymacromonomers, therefore, are considered to be one of the best models for understanding of branched architecture-property relationships. Their properties are expected to be very different from the corresponding linear polymers of the same MW both in solution and the bulk state. Indeed, during the past decade, remarkable progress has been accomplished in the field of static, dynamic, and hydrodynamic properties of the polymacromonomers in dilute and concentrated solutions, as well as by direct observation of the polymers in bulk. 

Traditional materials for orthopedic and dental applications have been selected based on their mechanical properties and ability to remain inert in vivo this selection process has provided materials that satisfied physiological loading conditions but did not duplicate the mechanical, chemical, and architectural properties of bone. Most importantly, to date, failure of conventional orthopedic and dental implant materials is often due to insufficient bonding to juxtaposed bone (that is, insufficient osseointegration).

In the next section Cl and WI indices obtained after five different earthquakes are reported. The earthquakes occurred in Erzincan 1992, Diizce 1999, Bingol 2003, Wenchuan 2008, and Haiti 2010. It must be emphasized that (1) the damage statistics included only a fraction of the buildings at each site, and (2) structural and architectural properties of the buildings varied from site to site, as did the earthquake demand. The Wenchuan data were limited to a university campus. No collapses occurred. Collapses occurred in Haiti, but they were not reported, because of lack of information on the buildings that collapsed.
