Isotactic polypropylene bars were exposed to ultraviolet radiation (UV) in the laboratory for
periods up to 48 weeks causing a reduction in molecular size and the build-up of chemical …

Blends of isotactic and syndiotactic polypropylene were studied by wide angle X-ray
scattering (WAXS), small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), light microscopy, scanning electron …

Linear and star‐shaped copolymers of trimethylene carbonate/ε‐caprolactone were
synthesized using different polyol initiators and catalysts. Unexpectedly, when …

The effects of specimen thickness, testing conditions and preparation technique on the
measured ramp-breakdown strength of 2 polyethylene systems have been investigated. The …

Blends of d, l-lactide/glycolide copolymers were synthesized and their properties and in vitro
degradation behaviour were evaluated as a function of chain architecture and blend …

Aggregation structure of polyethylene (PE) chains in the crystalline state as well as in the
molten state was investigated by an organized combination of the small-angle neutron …

The present work describes the influence of processing route on thermomechanical
properties of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) …

An elastomeric ethylene-octene copolymer was compared with binary blends of ethylene-
octene copolymers formulated to have the same crystallinity as the target copolymer …

Three commercial copolymers, two ethylene-butene and one ethylene-hexene, produced
using metallocene catalysts, were each blended with a commercial linear polyethylene to …

This paper describes the difficulties of interpretation of small-angle neutron scattering data
from blends of linear with lightly branched polyethylenes. The expected 'phase diagram'for …
