Through a balanced combination of theory and experiments, this book provides a detailed overview of the main and most up-to-date advances in the area of polymeric materials. Because the subject is essentially interdisciplinary and brings together scientists and engineers with different educational backgrounds, the book offers a research-oriented exposition of the fundamentals as well. The book is based on the editors’ and authors’ extensive experience in research, development, and education in the field of materials science, and especially polymer testing, polymer diagnostics, and failure analysis. A comprehensive coverage of the methods of polymer testing is provided along with the results of the authors’ work on deformation and fracture behavior of polymers. This book will be useful to faculty as well as advanced-level students in materials science, materials technology, plastic technology, mechanical engineering, process engineering, and chemical engineering.
This book presents the applications of high-energy beam radiation for synthesis and processing of polymeric materials. It addresses fundamental nature of high energy i.e., ionizing radiations and interaction with monomers and polymers leading to a wide variety of products such as tyres, textiles, shape memory polymers, polymers for aviation and space applications, polymeric biomaterials and natural rubber latex. It discusses general principles and techniques of preparation of polymeric materials including polymer blends, composites and nanocomposites. It also includes the topic of radiation-assisted recycling of polymers through breaking of covalent bonds. This book will be useful for students, researchers and professionals in the areas of polymers science and technology, radiation technology, electron beam technology, gamma radiation technology, advanced materials technology, biomaterials technology, nanotechnology, membrane science technology and environmental science.
This title's contents include: perspective polymer materials with structural inhomogeneity for the construction of new generation optical devices; the effect of various factors on damaging of polymeric materials by microorganisms; kinetics of radial growth of aspergillus colonies at different temperatures; kinetics of acids excretion in medium by mycelial micromycetes colonies; polymers for fibre optics; isobutylene polymerisation.
Most developed Si-N containing oligomers and polymers are silazaneorganic oligomers and polymers - one of the applicable siliconorganic poly-functional compounds with inorganic-organic main chains. They are using for production of various important technical compositions and materials with specific properties: polymer varnishes and coatings, water-repellents, polymer ceramics and silicon-nitride fibers, etc. They also successfully used in nanotechnology and as modifiers of the other organic and elementorganic oligomers, polymers and materials on their basis. In this book are described practically important and technologically justified four methods for obtaining polyfunctional siliconorganic polymers with organic - inorganic main chains.
This book on polymer tribology explores the gradual replacement of metal components by polymer-based materials (PBM's) that is taking place in automotive, aviation, aerospace, and other industries. The positive results include lower weights of components and entire structures as well as significant energy savings (more miles per gallon). Metals cannot be scratched easily, while polymeric surfaces have, in general, low scratch and wear resistance. Teflon is widely used because of its low friction but the residual scratch depth in Teflon is three times larger than in polyproplene, not even comparing with that in metals. Progress in tribology of PMB's has hampered by how little we understand it.
This book is devoted to examining the order and disorder in polymers. Understanding these factors is important because they define diffusion properties (molecule motion speed in the polymeric matrix) and the solubility of low molecular substances in polymers.
