Elongation studies

Increases in rms microstrain (e) with specimen elongation suggests that the crystallites are deforming plastically. Dislocation density in the PTFE is proportional to (s ). At the highest elongation studied, this density is of the order of IO " cm-2.19... 

Figure 8-1. A single hair fiber loaded in an Instron tensile tester for load-elongation study.

The moisture content of human hair varies with relative humidity, increasing with increasing RH. Speakman [25] and Feughelman and Robinson [24] have conducted relatively extensive load-elongation studies at different relative humidities for wool fiber. These data show a regular increase in extensibility (percent extension to break) with increasing relative humidity. Although such extensive studies could not be found in the literature for human hair, a similar relationship undoubtedly exists because... 

The mitochondria of the liver cells in young and old mice of the C57 black strain generally were abundant (Andrew 1960). In the younger animals, however, the mitochondria generally were more elongated. Study of the large aberrant cells in the liver of senile animals showed relatively little difference in the mitochondrial picture for such cells. There were, however, areas in the senile liver, particularly in regions where there was rather marked sclerosis of the blood vessels, where the mitochondrial picture was... 

We hope that rapid elongation studies (before fracture) on swollen gels will become feasible soon.

In the presence of external forces, plastic foams in which the cells are elongated or flattened in a particular direction may be formed. This cell orientation can have a marked influence on many properties. The results of a number of studies have been reviewed (59,60). 

Physical Factors. Unsatuiated elastomers must be stretched for ozone cracking to occur. Elongations of 3—5% are generally sufficient. Crack growth studies (10—18) have shown that some minimum force, called the critical stress, rather than a minimum elongation is required for cracking to occur. Critical stress values are neady the same for most unsaturated mbbers. However, polychloroprene has a higher critical stress value than other diene mbbers, consistent with its better ozone resistance. It has been found that temperature, plasticization, and ozone concentration have httie effect on critical stress values. 

The special case where only rotators are present, Np = 0, is of particular interest for the analysis of molecular crystals and will be studied below. Here we note that in the other limit, where only spherical particles are present, Vf = 0, and where only symmetrical box elongations are considered with boxes of side length S, the corresponding measure in the partition function (X Qxp[—/3Ep S, r )], involving the random variable S, can be simplified considerably, resulting in the effective Hamiltonian... 

Solvation effects on the molecular vibrations of 128 were studied by SCRF methods and by supermolecular approaches of 128 with one water molecule [97JPC(B) 10923, 98JPC(A)6010]. Correlations between the N—H (uracil) and O—H (water) bond elongations and the corresponding frequency shifts of the stretching vibrations are reported as...
