Plastics can be affected in different ways by temperature. It can influence short- and long-time static and dynamic mechanical properties, aesthetics, dimensions, electronic properties, and other characteristics. Fig. 6.3 provides a guide relating time at temperature vs. 50% retention mechanical and physical properties. Testing temperature was at the exposure temperature of test specimens. 

The physical properties of the acid- and ion-containing polymers are quite interesting. The storage moduli vs. temperature behavior (Figure 8) was determined by dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) for the PS-PIBMA diblock precursor, the polystyrene diblock ionomer and the poly(styrene)-b-poly(isobutyl methacrylate-co-methacrylic acid) diblock. The last two samples were obtained by the KC>2 hydrolysis approach. It is important to note that these three curves are offset for clarity, i.e. the modulus of the precursor is not necessarily higher than the ionomer. In particular, one should note the same Tg of the polystyrene block before and after ionomer formation, and the extension of the rubbery plateau past 200°C. In contrast, flow occurred in... 

The electrochemical window of pure molten cryolite has not been expressly stated, but a voltammogram of purified cryolite recorded at a graphite working electrode exhibits very little residual current over the range of potentials extending from 0.4 to -1.9 V vs. a nickel wire quasi-reference electrode [7]. Physical property data for molten cryolite and phase equilibria for the AlF3-NaF melt system have been summarized [31,32]. The extremely high temperature of cryolite places severe constraints on the materials that can be used for cells. Platinum and boron nitride are the materials of choice. 

More than 15 years after the discovery of high-Tc superconductivity in layered cuprates its mechanism is still under debate. This has to do with the asymmetry of physical properties between the electron-doped and hole-doped side of the complex phase diagram, temperature vs. doping, T(x), and with the fact that no consensus has been reached about the question what are the key experiments a theory of high-Tc superconductivity must be able to explain. In this paper we argue that the elementary excitations and their interdependence with spin excitations in the cuprates are of central interest in order to learn more about the correlations in general and, in particular, about the mechanism for Cooper-pairing in these systems.

Figure 2 also shows the density (p) vs temperature phase diagrams of ( () -(, I Ii -N and CO -C Hi -() systems calculated from PR equation of state.The system is single phase outside the envelopes, and separates into two phases in the envelopes. The results in Figure 2 indicate that the differ-rence of p T curves of the two systems is not considerable. The main reasons are that the physical properties of N2 and O2 are similar and their concentrations in the corresponding solutions are low (0.1 mol%). This suggests that N2 can be used to replace O2 for the phase behavior measurements. 

The shear and compressional acoustic wave velocities for the inner core are the direct output parameters from seismological observations. In order to make a direct comparison between the seismic data and measured physical properties, measurements of the acoustic velocities for iron at core pressures are required. Only very recently has it become possible to measure the elastic constants of e-Fe at high pressures and room temperature (Maoef a/., 1999 Lubbers etal.,2000 Fiqueteta/., 2001 Anderson et al., 2001). Recent advances in theory and computational methods have also provided new tools for computing the elastic constants of e-Fe at core pressures (Stixrude and Cohen, 1995 Soderlind et al, 1996 Cohen et al, 1997 Steinle-Neumann and Stixrude, 1999) and core conditions (Laio et al., 2000 Steinle-Neumann et al, 2001 Alfe et al, 2001). There is considerable disagreement on the elastic constants of e-Fe between experimental results and theoretical calculations. The differences in the aggregate shear (Vs) and compressional (Vp) wave velocities are smaller (Hemley and Mao, 2001 Steinle-Neumann et al, 2001). Further improvement of theory and experiment is required to resolve the discrepancies.
