The photoresponsive behaviour of the above polymeric systems was also investigated by circular dichroism measurements at various extents of photoisomerization.
The presence of nitroso moieties in the polymeric backbone results in a change in the conductivity behaviour of the polymer.
From the behaviour of each polymeric system, it is possible to analyse the relationship properties of each component proportion on the blends.
The analysis is performed using a generalised Maxwell model, which allows for an accurate description of nonlinear frequency dependent elastic properties, and thus is widely used to model the behaviour of many polymeric materials in a realistic way.
An interpretation of the experimental findings, related to the behaviour of previously reported polymeric photoinitiators based on the benzoin methyl ether moiety, is also reported.
Furthermore, since a thermodynamic quantity was returned it was possible to establish if the interaction was favourable or unfavourable and so to obtain useful information to understand and predict the dissolution behaviour of polymeric systems containing the same materials.
The equation modified by the authors recently for the determination of Mc is observed to describe very well the swelling behaviour of charged polymeric networks.
Crosslinked alginate matrices demonstrate pH-responsive behaviour; therefore, the polymeric fibre device was tested at pH 4.0 and 6.8.
The aim of this study was to compare the behaviour of polymeric- and metallic-reinforced embankments on hard foundation with 3D numerical simulations conducted using PLAXIS 3D.
