Sisal, flax, and glass fiber MTs can be classified by their mechanical properties, tensile strength, and Young s modulus (Table 12). 

In the case of statistic copolymers of two monomers (binary copolymers) the glass transition temperature steadily changes with the molar amounts of the two monomers. In many cases, a similar behavior is observed with some mechanical properties (tensile strength, impact strength, stiffness, and hardness) (see Chap. 1). Deviations can occur in copolymers, which contain only a few percent of one comonomer. 

The increment in mechanical properties (tensile strength, 300% modulus, and Young s modulus) as a function of SAF is plotted in Fig. 39. In general, the higher level of SAF, which in turn indicates better exfoliation, results in high level of property enhancement. However, the level of increment with the increase in SAF is different in all three cases and follows a typical exponential growth pattern. The apparent nonlinear curve fitting of the experimental values presented in Fig. 39 is a measure of the dependence of mechanical properties on the proposed SAF function. 

Disulfide Bonds Determine the Properties of Many Proteins Some natural proteins are rich in disulfide bonds, and their mechanical properties (tensile strength, viscosity, hardness, etc.) are correlated with the degree of disulfide bonding. 

For a product (article) "permanence" may be regarded as the most important aspect, whether this permanence relates to shape (dimensional stability), mechanical properties (tensile and impact strength, fatigue) or environment (resistance to ageing). Not enough is as yet known about the fundamental background of these permanence properties. 

Composites of polypyrrole and poly(vinyl chloride) have been prepared by several groups (64-67). Polythiophene-poly(vinyl chloride) composites have also been prepared (68). The electropolymerization of pyrrole on poly(vinyl chloride)-coated electrodes yielded composites with mechanical properties (tensile strength, percent elongation at break, percent elongation at yield) similar to poly(vinyl chloride) (65) but with a conductivity of 5-50 S/cm, which is only slightly inferior to polypyrrole (30-60 S/cm) prepared under similar conditions. In addition, the environmental stability was enhanced. Morphological studies (69) showed that the polypyrrole was not uniformly distributed in the film and had polypyrrole-rich layers next to the electrode. Similarly, poly(vinyl alcohol) (70) poly[(vinylidine chloride)-co-(trifluoroethylene)] (69) and brominated poly(vinyl carbazole) (71) have been used as the matrix polymers. The chemical polymerization of pyrrole in a poly(vinyl alcohol) matrix by ferric chloride and potassium ferricyanide also yielded conducting composites with conductivities of 10 S/cm (72-74). 

The propcnaiii shows good mechanical properties (tensile strength, elongation and initial rnodnlus) at tcinporaturcs from - 40" to 4 70 C.
