The well-known theory of increased entanglement density by branching for polymers in the melt can also be applied to polymers in the semi-dilute water solutions.
The advantage of such probes is that they can be applied to polymers which are autofluorescent or strongly coloured or to strongly scattering polymer emulsions.
We show that the process can be applied to polymers with very different chemical properties, namely polycarbonate, poly ethylene terephthalate), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene and polyvinyl alcohol.
The method is applied to polymer crystallization and the validity has been examined with the experimental results of polyethylene crystallization.
In-line monitoring of the conversion in pilot-scale was carried out on clear and pigmented coatings, which were applied to polymer foils or paper by roll coating.
We have developed a discrete interface cell model (DICM), which is a modified form of the Prigogine Saraga cell model theory of surface tension which had previously been applied to polymer liquids.
Tetrazine-norbornene chemistry has been applied to polymer synthesis and hydrogel fabrication.
Differences in the compositions of polymer blends are important, particularly for a number of industrial applications, and the local dispersity concept has already been applied to polymer blends with success [ 93].
This adhesion test has never been applied to polymers bonded to surfaces through aryl diazonium coupling agents.
