Strength polymer

The importance of polymer composites arises largely from the fact that such low density materials can have unusually high elastic modulus and tensile strength. Polymers have extensive applications in various fields of industry and agriculture. They are used as constructional materials or protective coatings. Exploitation of polymers is of special importance for products that may be exposed to the radiation or temperature, since the use of polymers make it possible to decrease the consumption of expensive (and, sometimes, deficient) metals and alloys, and to extent the lifetime of the whole product. 

Kayaks are often made of a high-strength polymer coated with epoxy resin., --- ... 

Most polymers are available as dry powders, solution polymers (in which 10 to 50% active strength polymer is dissolved in water), and emulsion polymers. 

PET can be blended with PBT or polycarbonate (PC) to make blends or alloys. Polycarbonate is a high Tg (150 °C) ductile, high-impact-strength polymer but has rather poor solvent resistance because of its amorphous nature. PET/PC blends have therefore proved advantageous because they combine the solvent-resistance...

Plasticization of high-strength polymers through introduction of polymethylsiloxane fluid (PMS) into the matrix (Fig. 1). 

The first part concentrates on structure while the second part focuses on the permeability. Both features are highly correlated and the influence on the membrane properties of electrostatics (e.g. ionic strength, polymer charge density, pH), temperature and the molecular weight of the polymers are studied on both types of membrane. 

Earlier work (9) has shown that the size of the precipitate, but not the protein recovery, depends on the method of addition of the polymer to the protein solution. Mixing conditions in the precipitation vessel also affect the precipitate size (lOh The solubility of the protein-polyelectrolyte complex depends strongly on the solution conditions—pH, ionic strength, polymer dosage level, and the nature of the protein and polyelectrolyte. These factors are discussed below ... 

Gross, actual mobility of chains must be low. The cohesive energy forces between chains should be low and permit rapid, easy expansion. In its extended state a chain should exhibit a high tensile strength, whereas at low extensions it should have a low tensile strength. Polymers with low cross-linked density usually meet the desired property requirements. The material after deformation should return to its original shape because of the cross-linking. This property is often referred to as rubber "memory."...
