Graded-index plastic optical fibers (GI POFs) 1 are a highly competitive transmission medium for short-range communications such as local area networks and interconnections. Because GI POFs have a ...
Polystyrene has a glass transition temperature of about 100 C -- at room temperature it behaves like a solid material. But as its temperature approaches the glass transition temperature, polystyrene’s ...
Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) exhibit impressive stiffness and strength properties that are commonly attributed to the reinforcing fibers. However, for many important mechanical properties, the ...
The complex heat capacity for the glass transition region of the NR/SBR blend is shown in Figure 1. Figure 1. ADSC of an NR/SBR blend In the traditional DSC measurement curve, enthalpy relaxation is ...
When a liquid is cooled rapidly, it gains viscosity and eventually becomes a rigid solid glass. The point at which it does so is known as the glass transition. A collaborative research group has ...
