About 60% crystallization is the upper limit for commercial products, with the exception of polyester fibers. [ clarification needed ] Transparent products can be produced by rapidly cooling molten polymer below the glass transition temperature (T g ) to form a non-crystalline amorphous solid . [ 34 ]
Polyester resin offers the following advantages: Adequate resistance to water and variety of chemicals. Adequate resistance to weathering and ageing. Low cost. Polyesters can withstand a temperature up to 80 °C. Polyesters have good wetting to glass fibres. Relatively low shrinkage at between 4–8% during curing.
The heat distortion temperature is determined by the following test procedure outlined in ASTM D648. The test specimen is loaded in three-point bending in the edgewise direction. The outer fiber stress used for testing is either 0.455 MPa or 1.82 MPa, and the temperature is increased at 2 °C/min until the specimen deflects 0.25 mm.
Polycaprolactone (PCL) is a synthetic, semi-crystalline, biodegradable polyester with a melting point of about 60 °C and a glass transition temperature of about −60 °C. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The most common use of polycaprolactone is in the production of speciality polyurethanes .
New research finds the optimal room temperature range for sleeping for older adults. Here, experts explain the best temperature for sleep.
the comfort rating is based on a 'standard' adult woman having a comfortable night's sleep. the lower limit is based on the lowest temperature at which a 'standard' adult man with a rolled-curled up body posture is globally in thermal equilibrium and just not feeling cold. [5] the extreme rating is a survival-only rating for a 'standard' adult ...
