In addition, we have probed hydrolyzed Estane sample with the NMR Mobile Universal Surface Explorer (NMR MOUSE) (10). This technique is a quick non-invasive technique to determine the effect that polymer degradation has on its physical properties. Polymer chain mobility can be detected by proton spin-spin relaxation time measurements of hydrolyzed Estane using the NMR MOUSE. The spin-spin relaxation time decay curve shows increased chain mobility upon hydrolysis (Figure 11). The decay curve is fitted with a biexponential decay function to give two T2 values. The T22 associated with the more mobile polymer chains shows an inverse relationship to the molecular weight decrease as would be expected. This technique shows promise as an in situ probe of hydrolysis in high explosives in a non-destructive manner. 

During sensor operation, the chemical species to be detected is transported into the chemically selective layer from the environment the transducer then detects the species in the layer, or detects a change in the layer itself caused by the presence of the species. The key challenge in sensor development is the selection of the proper material to act as this selective layer. Because of their wide range of chemical and physical properties, polymers are often used as chemically selective layers for many types of chemical, gas, and biosensors.

A polymer blend is a mixture of two or more polymers that have been blended together to create a new material with different physical properties. Polymer blending has attracted much attention as an easy and cost-effective method of developing polymeric materials that have versatility for commercial applications. In other words, the properties of the blends can be manipulated according to their end use by correct selection of the component polymers [2].

For the measurement of the physical properties, polymers were injection-molded to pieces of specified size. Measurements were made by the standard procedures. Polycarbonate (Panlite 1225, Teijin Co.) and the ABS resin (JSR ABS 55, Japan Synthetic Rubber Co.) were also evaluated as the references. 

The great commercial impact that polymer materials have made is a consequence of their unique physical properties. Polymers are able to exhibit a combination of strength and flexibihty which cannot be obtained with metals or ceramics. We encounter plastics either as hard crystalline or glassy soHds, or as elastomers with rubbery mechanical characteristics. 

A polymer blend or mixture is analogous to metal alloys, in which at least two polymers are combined to create a new material with different physical properties. Polymer blends can be broadly divided into three categories. 

Polymeric materials are widely used in the manufacture of electronic devices and systems. Because their structures can be tailored to provide a wide range of physical properties, polymers are the material of choice for many applications. Polymers with appropriate structures exhibit excellent dielectric constants and others high radiation sensitivity, two properties that are useful in the manufacture of electronic tystems. 

Polymer supports can be classified along several lines, either by physical properties such as its porosity or more according to chemical structure. With regards to physical properties, polymer supports can be of a linear and homogeneously soluble type [polyjethylene glycol) being the standard example] or of a crosslinked...
