Photosensitive properties of composite films based on copper chloride in polymer matrix
2013
The composite films based on PMMA and CuCl2 were prepared. Transmission spectra of the films before and after illumination by different laser lines (405, 448, 456 nm) were measured. The reversible character of the composite photosensitivity was fixed. The phenomenon of direct surface relief formation after laser beam illumination of composite films was described. The holographic gratings were recorded by different exposure (200 – 500 J/cm2) in the films with different concentration (8 and 20 wt. %) of copper salt. The film sensitivity dependence on polymer molecular weight was studied. Surface relief of the gratings was measured by AFM.
Efficient photovoltaic and electroluminescent perovskite devices.
2015
Planar diode structures employing hybrid organic–inorganic methylammonium lead iodide perovskites lead to multifunctional devices exhibiting both a high photovoltaic efficiency and good electroluminescence. The electroluminescence strongly improves at higher current density applied using a pulsed driving method.
Flexural Behavior of Glass Beams with T and I Shape Cross Sections
2017
AbstractGlass beams having T or I cross sections can be obtained as glass panels or laminated glass (LG) panels assembled with polymer adhesives of different types, such as semirigid (silicones, mo...
On the Improvement of the Processability of UHMW-HDPE by Adding a Liquid Crystalline Polymer and a Fluoroelastomer
2001
Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene possesses many interesting properties but a very bad processability. This material is not usually processed in conventional devices but only by compression moulding and RAM extrusion. Low molecular weight polyethylene can be used to improve the processability. In this work small amounts of a fluoroelastomer and of a liquid crystalline polymer have been used as processing aids to improve the extrudability of this polymer. In fact, the die pressure decreases whereas the output flow rate slightly increases with increasing concentration of the processing aids. Solution viscosity data shows that reduction of the mechanical stress during extrusion decrease…
Rapeseed oil-based rigid polyisocyanurate foams modified with nanoparticles of various type
2014
Polyisocyanurate foams have been developed using a polyol system partially derived from rapeseed oil (RO). The effect of nanofillers with iso-dimensional geometry (zinc oxide), nanofibers (carbon nanotubes), and nanoplatelets (organically modified montmorillonite) on stiffness and strength of the foams has been studied. It was demonstrated that the tensile properties of the filled foams are enhanced by roughly the same proportion as the stiffness and strength of monolithic filled polymers.
Model analysis of uniaxial and biaxial stretching of polymer melts
1976
The biaxial extension results byDenson et al. are compared with the predictions of a model of non-linear viscoelasticity. Date of uniaxial extension on the same material (a commercial polyisobutylene) are taken for extending the comparison. The model used seems to adequately describe both types of elongational flow with the same value of the single adjustable parameter.
Thermal diffusivity measurements for Mg-Mn ferrites
1992
Abstract The thermal diffusivity of Mg-Mn ferrites is studied through a modified scheme of the photothermal deflection method able to derive the diffusivity of low-diffusivity samples and to avoid any influence of the vertical offset parameter. The examined samples have been realized under different preparation conditions producing different grain dimensions, and a negligible influence of the grain dimensions is found on the thermal properties.
Melt Strength and Extensibility of High-Density Polyethylene
1984
The extensional flow of polymer melts has been extensively studied because of its importance in many technological processing operations and, from a more fundamental point of view, because the tensile properties of the polymer melts cannot be correlated directly with shear viscosity behavior.1–5
Thermo- and light responsive micellation of azobenzene containing block copolymers
2010
In this communication, the synthesis and characterization of thermo- and light responsive block copolymers is reported. PEO-b-PNIPAM polymers with azobenzene moieties were prepared and analyzed by turbidimetry, fluorescence, NMR and DLS measurements. A temperature controlled reversible formation as well as a light induced disruption and reformation of micellar structures in water was found.
No-flow temperature and solidification in injection molding simulation
2011
The no‐flow temperature (NFT) is a parameter representing the rheological solidification temperature of a polymer. A polymer, during injection molding filling stage, can stop its flow because of its high viscosity, although it is not yet fully solidified by means of glass transition or crystallization. The NFT is used in most of injection molding simulation packages: with this simple parameter it is possible to reduce the errors deriving from viscosity extrapolation at relatively low temperatures. The viscosity measurements for polymers are usually carried out at high temperatures, and the viscosity models can fail in prediction at temperatures close to the glass transition or crystallizati…
