Book Synopsis Physicochemical Aspects of Polymer Surfaces by : K. L. Mittal
Download or read book Physicochemical Aspects of Polymer Surfaces written by K. L. Mittal and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-13 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This and its companion Volume 2 document the proceedings of the International Symposium on Physicochemical Aspects of Polymer Surfaces held under the auspices of the American Chemical Society in New York City, August 23-28, 1981. This event was sponsored by the Division of Colloid and Surface Chemistry and the Divisions of Organic Coatings and Plastics Chemistry, and Industrial and Engineering Chemistry were the cosponsors. The study of polymer surfaces is important from both funda mental and applied points of view. The applications of polymers are legion and wheresoever polymers are used, their surface char acteristics, inter alia, are of great concern and importance; and the areas where polymers find applications range from microelec tronics to prosthetics. In the last decade or so, the availabil ity of various sophisticated surface analytical techniques, par ticularly ESCA, has been a boon in enhancing our knowledge of polymer surfaces. This Symposium was designed to bring together scientists and technologists interested in all aspects of polymer surfaces, to provide a forum for discussion of various ramifications of poly mer surfaces, to discover the latest developments, to provide an opportunity for cross-pollination of ideas, and to highlight areas which are in astate of rapid development and those which need intensified efforts. If the comments from attendees is any barometer of the success of an event, then this Symposium was a grand success and the above objectives were amply fulfilled.
Book Synopsis Introduction to Molecular Motion in Polymers by : Richard A. Pethrick
Download or read book Introduction to Molecular Motion in Polymers written by Richard A. Pethrick and published by Whittles Publishing. This book was released on 2011-03-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explains how molecular movement is determined by chemical structure, then how motion controls the physical and technological properties of polymer materials. Readers are introduced to the concepts of molecular movement in polymers and the connections with causative chemical structure on the one hand and resulting bulk physical and technological behavior on the other. The approach is non-mathematical, but is molecularly based and allows readers to understand the detailed chemical and rigorous mathematical discussions of more advanced texts.
Download or read book Polymer Surfaces written by B. W. Cherry and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1981-01-29 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this 1981 book, designed for senior undergraduates, postgradutes and professionals, is to draw together in one unified presentation a number of the phenomena associated with polymer surfaces. The author begins by describing the theory of surface tension in terms of intermolecular forces and then goes on to consider the practical problem of the factors involved when a liquid wets a polymeric surface and forms a bond to it. An account of polymeric adhesives and their different spheres of application follows, and an examination of the mechanism of failure of adhesive joints leads to a discussion of joint design for optimum strength and environmental resistance. A chapter on friction is closely related to that on adhesion, and the final chapter is devoted to specific frictional mechanisms associated with high hysteresis polymers as well as an introductory discussion of wear.

Book Synopsis Lubricating Polymer Surfaces by : Yoshikimi Uyama
Download or read book Lubricating Polymer Surfaces written by Yoshikimi Uyama and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1998-04-30 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FROM THE PREFACE The surface modification of polymeric materials has been the object of a large number of investigations, but little attention has been paid to making a polymer surface frictionless or slippery, and lubricating surfaces are practically unmentioned in any books so far published, probably because of the relatively minor importance of polymer friction in industrial applications. A lubricating polymer surface is important, especially in marine and biomedical technologies. For instance, biomaterials to be used for catheterization on the urinary, tracheal, and cardiovascular tracts, or for endoscopy, should have a surface with good handling characteristics when dry and which preferably becomes slippery upon contact with body liquids. Such a low-friction surface must enable easy insertion and removal of the device from a patient. It would further prevent mechanical injury to the mucous membranes and minimize discomfort to the patient. Earlier approaches to providing a low-friction surface were mostly simple applications involving lubricants such as lidocaine jelly, silicone oil, or non-permanent coating with low-friction materials such as polyethylene or fluoroplastics. However, these substances cannot maintain a high degree of slipperiness for the required duration of time, due to the fact that they leach or disperse into the surrounding body fluids. The aim of this book is to describe the principle of lubrication, to outline a variety of methods for attaining a lubricous surface, and to describe the characteristics and properties of such lubricous surfaces. The technology for surface modification of polymers by grafting will find other applications than for lubrication, such as for improvement of the interfacial adhesion in polymer composites.
