Take the tangled spaghetti-soup of a polymer melt and stretch it: the immediate response is like that of an elastic network, as the polymers are forced to deform through their mutual entanglements.

We also provide a basic introduction to dynamics of polymer chains in solutions and melts and how it affects polymer manufacturing and processing. The class is centered around development a greater ...

Electrospinning operates on a straightforward principle involving a high-voltage electric field applied between a droplet of polymer solution (or melt) held by a syringe and a grounded collector. The ...

There are greater intermolecular forces between the long chains compared with smaller simple molecules. This means that polymers have a higher melting point than many other organic molecules.

you start breaking polymer chains, which causes the properties to degrade." HDPE materials lose quality every time they are ...
