Draglines composed of repeating Gly, Ala and Glu amino acid residues may give heat-resistant and UV-resistant properties. Spider silks composed of an almost amorphous and P-sheet structure give flexible and stretch properties for spiders to move easily and quickly. Uniaxially stretched silks especial-ly " give mechanically strong properties and a high modulus. " These excellent properties have developed over 400 millions years of evolution. It will be necessary to further examine spider silks from the viewpoint of nanostructure. 

The properties of SAN resins depend on their acrylonittile content. Both melt viscosity and hardness increase with increasing acrylonittile level. Unnotched impact and flexural strengths depict dramatic maxima at ca 87.5 mol % (78 wt %) acrylonitrile (8). With increasing acrylonitrile content, copolymers show continuous improvements in barrier properties and chemical and uv resistance, but thermal stabiUty deteriorates (9). The glass-transition... 

To improve on penetration and heat resistance (properties normally in opposition when formulating hot melts), reactive hot melt systems are being developed. Moisture curing urethanes have already gained wide acceptance in a number of wood and automotive applications. UV cure is slowly gaining acceptance in PSA, labeling, and other markets. 

Polyarylate It is a form of aromatic polyester (amorphous) exhibiting an excellent balance of properties such as stiffness, UV resistance, combustion resistance, high heat-distortion temperature, low notch sensitivity, and good electrical insulating values. It is used for solar glazing, safety equipment, electrical hardware, transportation components and in the construction industry. 

In this paper, we report an alternative approach to the design of deep UV resist systems combining the desired properties, which involves copolymerization of methacrylic ester with styrenic comonomer and the use of the acid-catalyzed deprotection chemistry. 

Often some additives or fillers are added to the thermoplastic to improve specific properties such as thermal or chemical stability, UV resistance, etc. 

ABS/PVC alloys are appreciated for their inherent flame resistance, but beware of toxic and corrosive fumes good impact resistance resistance to certain chemicals good UV resistance of suitable grades fair mechanical properties attractive price/property ratios fair dimensional stability easier processing than PVC weak absorption of water good electrical insulation even in wet environments, feasibility of welding. 

Various materials have been examined for use as deep UV resists poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) (1), poly(methyl isopropenyl ketone) (PMIPK) fS.7L and the novolak-Meldrum s acid solution inhibition system (S). Each however has a problem related to sensitivity and/or resolution. While PMMA is insensitive to light of X > 230 nm because of its weak absorption, its high resolution properties make it an attractive starting point for the design of a resist that will perform well in the 230-280 region. The photochemical properties of PMMA could be modified by the incorporation of a small percentage of photolabile groups so as to have both the desired sensitivity and base polymer properties. 

Poiymers which are 100% acrylic are known for their outstanding exterior durability properties, as well as excellent alkali resistance and overall high performance. Styrene is generally lower-cost than many other monomers, so styrene-acrylics are lower in cost than all acrylics but have poorer exterior durability because styrene is a UV absorber and degrades. Styrene-acrylics, do, however, generally have very good water-resistance properties due to their hydrophobicity. Styrene acrylics are popular in some areas of Europe, Asia, and Latin America. Vinyl acetate is also somewhat lower in cost, so these polymers are popular for interior paints, particularly in the United States, where exterior durability and alkali resistance are not performance issues. 

Unlike other pigments, carbon black used in plastics processing not only yields coloristic effects but also modifies the electrical properties, provides heat and UV resistance, and may act as a filler to modify mechanical properties. 

The nonaromatic nature of these maicrials provides for improved uv resistance and arc-track resistance compared to conventional epoxies The best properties arc generally achieved with anhydride and phenolic curing agents.
