Such a measurement can tell us about the chemical evolution of oxygen, such as whether the isotopes differentiated via a thermal cycle in which lighter leO fractionates from the heavier lsO, much as Vostok ice-core oxygen ratios reveal the Earth s prehistoric climate. From this fixed point of the Sun s oxygen ratios, we can then trace the history of water in other planetary bodies since their birth in the solar nebulae through the subsequent cometary bombardment [13]. In NASA s search for water on the Moon, important for the establishment of a future Moon base, such isotopic ratios will determine whether the water is a vast mother lode or just a recent cometary impact residue.

Mo03 by H20. Results of the impact of carburization and thermal cycling are provided in Tables 134 and 135, respectively. 

A stndy was made of the effects of foam formulation and process conditions and liner composition on the adhesion of HCFC-141b blown rigid PU foam thermal insulation to refrigerator liner protective layers made of ABS, high-impact PS (HIPS), PE and blends of HIPS and PE containing a compatibiliser and adhesion promoter. A tensile test was used to quantify the level of adhesion before and after thermal cycling, and the Brett mould was used for laboratory simulations of foam adhesion within... 

The epoxy resin is a primary component in any epoxy adhesive formulation, and it is often referred to as the base polymer. However, it is certainly not the only or even not always the predominant component in influencing desirable end properties. Epoxy resins by themselves are often too rigid to provide the required properties such as flexibility, peel and impact strength, and thermal cycling resistance. As a result, they are often modified with other components or hybridized with other types of polymeric resins to provide these functions. 

The highest-MW DGEBA epoxy resins are termed phenoxy resins. They are highly linear molecules that are used primarily as thermoplastic coating resins. However, they can be blended with lower-MW epoxy resins for the improvement of specific properties such as flexibility, impact and fatigue resistance, and thermal cycling. Phenoxy resins are sometimes used alone as a thermoplastic hot melt adhesive generally in film form. 

The primary reactive diluents are monoepoxy low-molecular-weight epoxy resins. These may be used at rather high concentration with little effect on cured properties. Often they are employed to make selective improvements on certain properties such as adhesion, thermal cycling resistance, and impact strength. Some lower-viscosity commercial epoxy resins are already reduced with these diluents. 

The room temperature cured epoxy adhesives discussed thus far exhibit a general lack of flexibility, especially when considered next to elastomeric sealants. Flexibility is generally desired when the performance requirements include high peel strength, impact strength, and resistance to thermal shock or thermal cycling. 

Other factors having a substantial influence on polymer properties are solvent and by-product concentrations. Here, an increase in solvent concentration decreases the glass transition temperature (12.). Repeated thermal cycling also impacts the polymer properties and the state of stress (12).

Besides the thermal environmental impact by wasted heat production in the thermal cycle and dissipation in the internal power circulation system, the power density and the configuration will also have an influence on the environmentally relevant parameters fuel inventory and activation.
