Elongation parameter

This elongation parameter indicates the ratio of the thickness of the PS layer to the average distance between junctions S /". It is thus related to the crowding of PS on the fold surface (see Figure 6.18). The quantity is in a sense analogous to the quantity a = L/Lq of rubber elasticity theory in both cases we are concerned with molecules having perturbed conformations and reduced entropy. 

Based on the same notations of Fig. 10.11, the general solution for the adhesive shear stress governing equation (i.e. equation [10.13] below) is identieal to that of Hart-Smith s general solution. However, the exponent of the elastie shear stress distribution (A) in Hart-Smith s (1973) theory is ealled the elongation parameter in Tsai et a/. s (1998) theory, although its mathematical formula is identical (refer to equation [10.7]). It appears in the general equation for Hart-Smith s solution instead of the current solution s P parameter of equation [10.15], whieh is the eore difference between both theories. The parameter P is redefined by two parameters X and o) (refer to equation [10.15]). The latter is the shear deformation parameter which accounts for the shear deformations of the adherend in its mathematical formula (i.e. equation [10.14]).

The correction factor A utilizes a bond elongation parameter (=0.003 A). Simple correction procedures have been given for various molecule types. The (/ )°orr the other scaled moments of the complete set are then used in a least-squares determination of the structural parameters. The results found are quite good. The scaled method represents a significant step in the improvement of spectroscopic structure determinations of polyatomic molecules. 

For the acetone-methanol data of Othmer, the correlation coefficient is -0.678, indicating a moderate degree of correlation between the two van Laar parameters. The elongated confidence ellipses shown in Figure 2 further emphasize this correlation. 

With disk diameters above 5.25 in., all parameters, eg, water absorption and thermal expansion, become more critical which aggravates the expansion or warp of disks. If in the future disk rotation speeds have to be increased significantly to boost data transfer rates, higher demands will be placed on warp (tilt angle) and modulus to avoid creeping (ie, irreversible elongation in radial direction). A survey of the requirement profile for the substrate material of optical disks is given in Table 5 (182,186,187,189). 

Coran and Patel [33] selected a series of TPEs based on different rubbers and thermoplastics. Three types of rubbers EPDM, ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), and nitrile (NBR) were selected and the plastics include PP, PS, styrene acrylonitrile (SAN), and PA. It was shown that the ultimate mechanical properties such as stress at break, elongation, and the elastic recovery of these dynamically cured blends increased with the similarity of the rubber and plastic in respect to the critical surface tension for wetting and with the crystallinity of the plastic phase. Critical chain length of the rubber molecule, crystallinity of the hard phase (plastic), and the surface energy are a few of the parameters used in the analysis. Better results are obtained with a crystalline plastic material when the entanglement molecular length of the... 

GPa) and the relative elongation at break (%). The first of the indices characterizes the resistance of the fiber to deformation under the affect of the acting force and determines the value of the tensile strength causing the formation of the unitary relative elongation (e). The modulus E characterizes the susceptibility of the fiber to deform based on the principle of inverse proportionality. The other parameter, i.e., 6, characterizes the maximum ability of the fiber to deform under the effect of the acting tensile force. 

The exponent x is an empirical parameter to be determined from experiments. For a fully extended chain in stagnant elongational flow, x is equal to 2 whereas a value of 1 was found under transient flow conditions (Sect. 5.4).
