The structure-property relationship of the interlamellar amorphous phase in semicrystalline
polymers has been a fundamental yet controversial topic in polymer physics for several …

It is well-known that all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) predictions of mechanical properties
of thermoset resins suffer from multiple accuracy issues associated with their viscoelastic …

Transparent polymer such as PMMA has been used for manufacturing viewport windows of
deep-sea manned submersible. This paper develops an anisotropic viscoelasticity/damage …

Temperature is well known to have a significant effect on the overall mechanical
performance of viscoelastomers. In this work, we investigate the thermo-mechanically …

This work analyzes resistance of polyamide hollow fibers used for heat exchangers against
extremely high pressures. Hollow fibers made of five different commercially available …

New polyurethane (PUR) adhesives containing covalent Diels-Alder (DA) bonds that can
break and form with temperature have been recently developed for sustainable multilayer …

Microscratch test was carried out by Berkovich indenter on four thermoplastics of distinct
characteristics: polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is soft and self-lubricating; polycarbonate …

There is a need for sustainable valorization solutions for the problem of excess sulfur arising
from abundant natural sources of sulfur and the production of millions of tons of sulfur …

A modeling method with the fractal structure to describe the elastic-viscous-plastic properties
of materials is proposed in this paper. Moreover, the solution can be obtained without …

The fracture of polymers involves viscous dissipation and finite deformation, which poses
difficulties for theoretical and numerical analysis. The phase field model (PFM) is a …
