The service temperature is the range between the maximum and minimum temperatures that the polymer is subjected to in service. The maximum temperature is limited by softening and burning, while the ...

Liquid-crystal polymers are a unique class of wholly aromatic polyester poly mers that provide previously unavailable high-performance properties. Particularly outstanding is their heat-deflection ...

The concepts of friction and wear are easy to understand, yet they can interrelate in complex ways within a tribological system (science concerned with interacting surfaces in relative motion ...

It is frequently possible to detect and calculate materials by reference to their characteristic transition temperatures and thermal steadiness. However, a significant limitation of traditional ...

The Bruker Thermal Analysis (VITA) enables nanoscale thermal analysis (nTA), which is a revolutionary technique that permits the estimation of local transition temperature at the material surface with ...
