Another example was done by Opitz et al. They utilized P4HB scaffolds to produce viable ovine blood vessels, and then implanted the blood vessels in the systemic circulation of sheep. Enzymatically derived vascular smooth muscle cells (vSMC) were seeded on the scaffolds both under pulsatile flow and static conditions. Mechanical properties of bioreactor-cultured blood vessels which were obtained from tissue engineering approached those of native aorta. 

The chemical composition for a number of martensitic Cr steels is given in Table 3.1-54. Tables 3.1-55-3.1-58 review data on recommended heat treatment conditions, mechanical properties, physical properties, and weldability, respectively. 

These secondary or pseudo crosslinks, within the use temperature range of the product, increase the stiffness modulus. As indicated above, this type of crosslinking is achieved by phase separation or aggregation and forms over a period of time that ranges from a few hours to several days, depending on storage conditions. Mechanical properties can change over this time period, with improvements usually obtained.

Before we can explore how reactor conditions can be chosen, we require some measure of reactor performance. For polymerization reactors, the most important measure of performance is the distribution of molecular weights in the polymer product. The distribution of molecular weights dictates the mechanical properties of the polymer. For other types of reactors, three important parameters are used to describe their performance ... 

The radiation and temperature dependent mechanical properties of viscoelastic materials (modulus and loss) are of great interest throughout the plastics, polymer, and rubber from initial design to routine production. There are a number of laboratory research instruments are available to determine these properties. All these hardness tests conducted on polymeric materials involve the penetration of the sample under consideration by loaded spheres or other geometric shapes [1]. Most of these tests are to some extent arbitrary because the penetration of an indenter into viscoelastic material increases with time. For example, standard durometer test (the "Shore A") is widely used to measure the static "hardness" or resistance to indentation. However, it does not measure basic material properties, and its results depend on the specimen geometry (it is difficult to make available the identity of the initial position of the devices on cylinder or spherical surfaces while measuring) and test conditions, and some arbitrary time must be selected to compare different materials. 

The technological importance of thin films in snch areas as semicondnctor devices and sensors has led to a demand for mechanical property infonnation for these systems. Measuring the elastic modnlns for thin films is mnch harder than the corresponding measurement for bnlk samples, since the results obtained by traditional indentation methods are strongly perturbed by the properties of the substrate material. Additionally, the behaviour of the film under conditions of low load, which is necessary for the measnrement of thin-film properties, is strongly inflnenced by surface forces [75]. Since the force microscope is both sensitive to surface forces and has extremely high depth resolntion, it shows considerable promise as a teclnhqne for the mechanical characterization of thin films. 

Most properties of linear polymers are controlled by two different factors. The chemical constitution of tire monomers detennines tire interaction strengtli between tire chains, tire interactions of tire polymer witli host molecules or witli interfaces. The monomer stmcture also detennines tire possible local confonnations of tire polymer chain. This relationship between the molecular stmcture and any interaction witli surrounding molecules is similar to tliat found for low-molecular-weight compounds. The second important parameter tliat controls polymer properties is tire molecular weight. Contrary to tire situation for low-molecular-weight compounds, it plays a fimdamental role in polymer behaviour. It detennines tire slow-mode dynamics and tire viscosity of polymers in solutions and in tire melt. These properties are of utmost importance in polymer rheology and condition tlieir processability. The mechanical properties, solubility and miscibility of different polymers also depend on tlieir molecular weights. 

Rocket Propellants. SoHd rocket propellants are mostly based on chemically cross-linked polymeric elastomers to provide the mechanical properties required in launchings and the environmental conditions experienced in storage, shipment, and handling (see Elastomers, synthetic). Double-and triple-based nitrocellulose propellants are also employed as rocket propellants. 

An important aspect of the mechanical properties of fibers concerns their response to time dependent deformations. Fibers are frequently subjected to conditions of loading and unloading at various frequencies and strains, and it is important to know their response to these dynamic conditions. In this connection the fatigue properties of textile fibers are of particular importance, and have been studied extensively in cycHc tension (23). The results have been interpreted in terms of molecular processes. The mechanical and other properties of fibers have been reviewed extensively (20,24—27). 

The mechanical properties of acryUc and modacryUc fibers are retained very well under wet conditions. This makes these fibers well suited to the stresses of textile processing. Shape retention and maintenance of original bulk in home laundering cycles are also good. Typical stress—strain curves for acryhc and modacryUc fibers are compared with wool, cotton, and the other synthetic fibers in Figure 2. 

Commercial production of PVA fiber was thus started in Japan, at as early a period as that for nylon. However, compared with various other synthetic fibers which appeared after that period, the properties of which have continuously been improved, PVA fiber is not very well suited for clothing and interior uses because of its characteristic properties. The fiber, however, is widely used in the world because of unique features such as high affinity for water due to the —OH groups present in PVA, excellent mechanical properties because of high crystallinity, and high resistance to chemicals including alkah and natural conditions. 

Hexafluoiopiopylene and tetiafluoioethylene aie copolymerized, with trichloiacetyl peroxide as the catalyst, at low temperature (43). Newer catalytic methods, including irradiation, achieve copolymerization at different temperatures (44,45). Aqueous and nonaqueous dispersion polymerizations appear to be the most convenient routes to commercial production (1,46—50). The polymerization conditions are similar to those of TFE homopolymer dispersion polymerization. The copolymer of HFP—TFE is a random copolymer that is, HFP units add to the growing chains at random intervals. The optimal composition of the copolymer requires that the mechanical properties are retained in the usable range and that the melt viscosity is low enough for easy melt processing. 

Mech nic lProperties. Extensive Hsts of the physical properties of FEP copolymers are given in References 58—63. Mechanical properties are shown in Table 3. Most of the important properties of FEP are similar to those of PTFE the main difference is the lower continuous service temperature of 204°C of FEP compared to that of 260°C of PTFE. The flexibiUty at low temperatures and the low coefficients of friction and stabiUty at high temperatures are relatively independent of fabrication conditions. Unlike PTFE, FEP resins do not exhibit a marked change in volume at room temperature, because they do not have a first-order transition at 19°C. They ate usehil above —267°C and are highly flexible above —79°C (64). 

Densification to what is practically hiU density is achievable for most materials. The resulting mechanical properties are equivalent to wrought parts in similar condition. In some materials, the properties of the HIP product are superior because of reduced anisotropy. 

Polypropylene molecules repeatedly fold upon themselves to form lamellae, the sizes of which ate a function of the crystallisa tion conditions. Higher degrees of order are obtained upon formation of crystalline aggregates, or spheruHtes. The presence of a central crystallisation nucleus from which the lamellae radiate is clearly evident in these stmctures. Observations using cross-polarized light illustrates the characteristic Maltese cross model (Fig. 2b). The optical and mechanical properties ate a function of the size and number of spheruHtes and can be modified by nucleating agents. Crystallinity can also be inferred from thermal analysis (28) and density measurements (29).
