The swelling capacity of a polymer is the amount of a liquid that can be absorbed by it. This test can done by two methods: This test can done by two methods: Beaker test method [ 1 ]
William Zisman's contribution of what is called today as the Zisman Plot revolutionized the world of adhesive bonding and surface chemistry by giving a fast, effective, and quantitative way to measure the wettability or critical surface tension of a solid. This spawned the work of many others over the past few decades.
Polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE or PTFCE) is a thermoplastic chlorofluoropolymer with the molecular formula (CF 2 CClF) n, where n is the number of monomer units in the polymer molecule. It is similar to polytetrafluoroethene (PTFE), except that it is a homopolymer of the monomer chlorotrifluoroethylene (CTFE) instead of tetrafluoroethene.
Oxygen transmission rate (OTR) is the measurement of the amount of oxygen gas that passes through a substance over a given period. It is mostly carried out on non-porous materials, where the mode of transport is diffusion, but there are a growing number of applications where the transmission rate also depends on flow through apertures of some description.
Polyetherimide (PEI; branded as Ultem [1]) is an amorphous, amber-to-transparent thermoplastic with characteristics similar to the related plastic PEEK.When comparing PEI to PEEK, the former is cheaper but has lower impact strength and a tighter temperature range.
The quadratic Hill yield criterion [1] has the form : + + + + + = . Here F, G, H, L, M, N are constants that have to be determined experimentally and are the stresses. The quadratic Hill yield criterion depends only on the deviatoric stresses and is pressure independent.
In order to increase the calculation speed for viscosity calculations based on CS theory, which is important in e.g. compositional reservoir simulations, while keeping the accuracy of the CS method, Pedersen et al. (1984, 1987, 1989) [17] [18] [2] proposed a CS method that uses a simple (or conventional) CS formula when calculating the reduced ...
Plastic deformation of a thin metal sheet. Flow plasticity is a solid mechanics theory that is used to describe the plastic behavior of materials. [1] Flow plasticity theories are characterized by the assumption that a flow rule exists that can be used to determine the amount of plastic deformation in the material.
