The SPE Library contains thousands of papers, presentations, journal briefs and recorded webinars from the best minds in the Plastics Industry. Spanning almost two decades, this collection of published research and development work in polymer science and plastics technology is a wealth of knowledge and information for anyone involved in plastics.
The SPE Library is just one of the great benefits of being an SPE member! Are you taking advantage of all of your SPE Benefits?
The rheology and morphology of uncompatibilized and reactively compatibilized blends of polytrimethylene terephthalate and ethylene propylene diene monomer correlate strongly.
Elias Hage Jr., Luiz Antonio Pessan, Jose Donato Ambrosio, Nelson Larocca, October 2010
Use of a reactive compatibilizer and a suitable combination of extrusion parameters extends the high impact strength of poly(butylene terephthalate)/acrylonitrile butadiene styrene blends to very low temperatures.
Hyperbranched polyphosphate ester can improve the toughness, flexural and tensile strength, thermal performance, and flame retardance of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A epoxy resin.
Nanoclay-filled thermoplastic polyurethane/polypropylene blends with maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene as compatibilizer exhibit overall best performance in terms of tensile properties.
Jan Kolarik, Andrea Dorigato , Alessandro Pegoretti, September 2010
Linear, low-density polyethylene/fumed-silica nanocomposites show notable enhancements of creep resistance in proportion to the surface area of the incorporated nanofillers.
A down powder that contains nearly 14 times the specific surface area of down fiber enhances the water-vapor-transmission rate of polyurethane membranes.
Improved interfacial adhesion between carbon nanotubes and the polymer results in nanocomposites exhibiting improved wear rates compared to ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene alone.
Cheng-Hsing Fan, Yuhsin Tsai , Chi-Yuan Hung, September 2010
Intercalating organoclay with glycol-modified polyethylene terephthalate copolyester results in a film that combines good gas-barrier properties with high optical transmittance.
Saul Sanchez-Valdes , Luis Francisco Ramos-deValle, August 2010
Melt viscosity, measured by capillary rheometry, indicates the degree that exfoliation is improved by adding maleated polyethylene compatibilizers to polyethylene-nanoclay composites.
