The size and complexity of the structure of macromolecules allows the combination of
different, in some cases even antagonistic, properties, eg, in solubility, in flexibility, or …

This text provides the basic history, molecular structure and intrinsic properties, practical
applications and future developments of polyethylene production and marketing-including …

The research and development of nanotechnology has led to materials science and
engineering entering the “nanomaterial era”. It is pivotal for analyzing the physicochemical …

We present measurements of the nanoscale elastic and viscoelastic properties of samples of
poly (methylmetacrylate)(PMMA)/rubber nanocomposites. For these studies we have used a …

We discuss the influence of surface viscoelasticity effects on the effective properties of
materials such as effective bending stiffness of plates or shells. Viscoelastic properties in the …

The local conformation of poly (methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) chains at the nitrogen (N2) and
water interfaces was studied by infrared-visible sum-frequency generation (SFG) …

Surface molecular aggregation structure and surface molecular motions of high-molecular-
weight polystyrene/low-molecular-weight poly (methyl methacrylate)(HMW-PS/LMW-PMMA) …

The adhesion and detachment of polymer and solid substrate surfaces play important roles
in many engineering applications such as for designing adhesives, biomedical adhesives …

This review article describes progress made in scanning force microscopy of polymers
during the last 5 years including fundamental principles of SFM and recent developments in …

An increasing amount of experimental data now supports the idea that the dynamics of thin
polymer films is different from bulk. An experimental consensus now supports the previously …
