Table 1 Molecular weights, polydispersity indices, compositions and thermal properties of homo-and block copolymers. The molecular weights were determined via SEC using polystyrene calibrations, the compositions via H-NMR and the thermal properties from DSC measurements. The melting enthalpies are normalized to their weight fractions...

The composition and thermal properties of the normal rare earth oxalates as well as the solubility of the rare earth oxalates in the common mineral acids as a function of both the mineral acid concentration and oxalic acid concentration is summarized by Aladjem (1970), p. 270-271. 

Permafrost is defined as subsurface earth materials that remain continuously at or below 0°C (32 F) for 2 or more years (Fig. 37.7a). The layer of ground above permafrost that freezes and thaws on an annual basis (the active layer) varies from a few tens of centimeters to several meters in thickness, depending on geographical location, the composition and thermal properties of the substrate, and type and properties of the surface cover. Where surficial materials have highly insulative properties...

Then, for a particulate composite, consisting of a polymeric matrix and an elastic filler, it is possible by the previously described method to evaluate the mechanical and thermal properties, as well as the volume fraction of the mesophase. The mesophase is also expected to exhibit a viscoelastic behaviour. The composite consists, therefore, of three phases, out of which one is elastic and two viscoelastic. 

In order to simplify the procedure of evaluating the extent of mesophase and its mechanical and thermal properties, a simple but effective three-layer model may be used, which is based on measurements of the thermal expansions of the phases and the composite, below and above the transition zone of the composite, lying around its glass transition temperature Tgc. 

Gallium arsenide is epitaxially deposited on a silicon substrate and the resulting composite combines the mechanical and thermal properties of silicon with the photonic capabilities and fast electronics of gallium arsenide. 

These tactoids are responsible for the particular geometrical structures formation in the blends, which leads to the formation of superstructures in the thickness of the blended film. The Young s modulus of the hybrid is increased by this kind of structural feature. After that, the preparation of intercalated PLA/ OMMT nano-composites with much improved mechanical and thermal properties was reported by Bandyopadhyay et al. (1999).

A variety of surface-sensitive spectroscopic and microscopic methods were critical in the investigation of these systems. In the work by Advincula et al, the composition, thickness, physical and thermal properties, and morphology of the tethered polymer brushes were carefully analyzed [72]. A variety of surface-sensitive techniques such as ellipsometry, contact angle measurements, AFM, quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), FT-IR grazing incidence...
