[3] [4] Furthermore, other molecules in the polymer solution, such as salts or proteins, can alter the cloud point temperature. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] Since PNIPA expels its liquid contents at a temperature near that of the human body , PNIPA copolymers have been investigated by many researchers for possible applications in tissue engineering [ 7 ] [ 8 ...
In presence of even a small amount of oxygen, singlet oxygen is formed during operation, by energy transfer from the excited polymer molecules to oxygen molecules. These oxygen radicals then attack the structure of the polymer, leading to its degradation. [citation needed] PPV has also been investigated as an electron-donor in organic solar ...
The biggest challenge for SPES application in fuel cells is improving its chemical durability. Under oxidative environment, SPES can undergo sulfonic group detachment and main chain scission. However the latter is more dominant; midpoint scission and unzip mechanism have been proposed as the degradation mechanism depending on the strength of ...
PTFE has a higher melting point and is more crystalline than PCTFE, but the latter is stronger and stiffer. Though PCTFE has excellent chemical resistance, it is still less than that of PTFE. [22] PCTFE has lower viscosity, higher tensile strength and creep resistance than PTFE. [1] PCTFE is injection-moldable and extrudable, whereas PTFE is ...
Polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH, PVA, or PVAl) is a water-soluble synthetic polymer. It has the idealized formula [CH 2 CH(OH)] n. It is used in papermaking, textile warp sizing, as a thickener and emulsion stabilizer in polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) adhesive formulations, in a variety of coatings, and 3D printing. It is colourless (white) and odorless.
Proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC), also known as polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells, are a type of fuel cell being developed mainly for transport applications, as well as for stationary fuel-cell applications and portable fuel-cell applications. Their distinguishing features include lower temperature/pressure ranges (50 to ...
The melting point (or, rarely, liquefaction point) of a substance is the temperature at which it changes state from solid to liquid. At the melting point the solid and liquid phase exist in equilibrium. The melting point of a substance depends on pressure and is usually specified at a standard pressure such as 1 atmosphere or 100 kPa.
Melting point: 260 °C Maximum operating temperature 204 °C Water absorption (ASTM) <0.01 % after 24 hours Dielectric constant (Dk) at 1M Hz: 2.1 Dissipation factor at 1M Hz: 0.0007 Arc resistance < 300 seconds Resistivity at 50% R.H. > 10 16 Ω m
