Degradability of linear polyolefins under natural weathering (2011, background): “HDPE, LLDPE and PP differ structurally in the number and length of branches, whose presence tends to reduce the amount and size of crystals, as well as their melting and crystallisation temperatures [1,2].”
Validation of ATR FT-IR to identify polymers of plastic marine debris, including those ingested by marine organisms (2018, positive): “Increased branching will reduce material density, with HDPE densities ranging from 0.94 g/mL to 0.97 g/mL and LLDPE and LDPE densities ranging from 0.90 g/mL to 0.94 g/mL (Peacock, 2000; Verleye et al., 2001).”
Pathways for degradation of plastic polymers floating in the marine environment. (2015, background): “28 Random chain scis-sion and cross-linking lead to a decrease or increase in the molecular weight, respectively.”
Polymer nanocomposite dielectrics-the role of the interface (2005, result): “1 RESULTS OBTAINED FROM ELECTRICAL CHARACTERIZATION The characteristic breakdown strength for XLPE at room temperature is found to be 269 kV/mm, which is comparable to published values [23].”
A study on the tensile response and fracture in carbon nanotube-based composites using molecular mechanics (2007, background): “The change in Young's 0 10 20 30 40 0 10 20 30 40 50 % Strain Stress (GPa) Fig.”
Polymeric insulation materials for HVDC cables: Development, challenges and future perspective (2017, background): “Jarvid et al found that C60 and its derivatives [6, 6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) could act as the voltage stabilizer to increase the breakdown strength and inhibit the formation of electrical trees in XLPE because of the high electron affinity and low ionization energy of C60 and P”
Tough, Semiconducting Polyethylene‐poly(3‐hexylthiophene) Diblock Copolymers (2007, background): “This particular combination was selected because P3HT exhibits excellent, well-documented (semi-)conducting properties, while PE, on the other hand, features a broad spectrum of highly desirable characteristics, such as outstanding mechanical properties and chemical resistance.([5]) In addition, PE ”
Advances in Biomaterials for Drug Delivery (2018, background): “Proteins, for example, consist of repeat units of amino acids;[124] alternatively, plastic bags consist of polyethylene, a hydrophobic and readily processable material that also finds use in pipes, electrical wires, and joint replacements.[125] This broad applicability of polymers stems from the fac”
Candidate mechanisms controlling the electrical characteristics of silica/XLPE nanodielectrics (2007, result): “The characteristic breakdown strength for XLPE at room temperature is found to be about 270 kV/mm, which is comparable to published values [20].”
