• Comparison of Block and Random Ethylyene-Octene Copolymers Based on the Structure and Elastomeric Properties (.pdf)
  . The OBCs showed higher strain recovery than the statistical EO copolymers, which is attributed to their unique crystalline morphology. AFM and WAXS studies revealed the "elastic" spherulites in OBCs. ADHESION OF POLYETHYLENE TO POLYPROPYLENE IN MULTILAYER FILMS COMPARISON OF BLOCK AND RANDOM...
• Medical Device Link . The Effect of Molecular Orientation on the Radiation Stability of Polypropylene
  , and testing of injection-molded, radiation-sterilized medical devices. Table I outlines the six PP samples used in this study, of which three are homopolymers and three are random copolymers (with ethylene). The samples were not stabilized, apart from the addition of approximately 200 ppm of in-process...
• Medical Device Link . The Effects of Annealing Conditions on the Structure and Properties of Polypropylene Fibers
  , differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), wide-angle x-ray diffraction (WAXD), and tensile tests. Annealing was done under both relaxed and constrained conditions. Two types of isotactic PP resins were used in this study: a homopolymer (melt index = 2.0) and a random copolymer (melt index = 2.0)...
• Medical Device Link . The Gamma Radiation Tolerance of Polypropylene: Measurement and Enhancement
  of homopolymers, random copolymers, and impact copolymers commercially available at very economical prices is rapidly stimulating the use of polypropylene in medical fields. Especially important to the new popularity of these plastics are their clarity and their ability to withstand all major methods...
• Medical Device Link . Clear, Radiation-Tolerant, Autoclavable Polypropylene
  and narrow molecular-weight distribution, are formulated with hindered-amine light stabilizers (HALS), and contain none of the discoloring phenolic antioxidants. Ethylene- containing random copolymers are useful substrates for building radiation-tolerant formulations, as are homopolymers with low...
• Plastics that perform
  . The term homopolymer refers to a polymer made from a single monomer. Copolymers come from two different monomers. In a copolymer, the monomer chains can be random, alternating, or grafted. A terpolymer is the combination of three different monomers. Combining monomers in various combinations is key...
• Care and feeding of living hinges
  homopolymers ( single monomer), copolymers (mixed monomer), impact copolymers ( toughness enhanced), and random (nonordered monomers). And while injection molding is the manufacturing option of choice, other processes, such as extrusion, blow molding, and stamping, can also form hinges that flex more than...
• Oil-Resistant Rubbers
  and curtain-wall panels, and flashing and roofing. Neoprene latex is used for adhesives, dip-coated goods, and cellular cushioning jackets. (CM; DE): This family of elastomers is produced by the random chlorination of high-density polyethylene. Because of the high degree of chemical saturation...
• Types of Plastics
  may be random, creating areas of high crystallinity separated by flexible, amorphous areas. Such a copolymer usually has good rigidity and impact strength. Block copolymers have large areas of polymerized monomer A alternating with large areas of polymerized monomer B. In general, a block copolymer...
• Introduction to Fluoropolymers (.pdf)
  molecule: A. B. C. A. B. C. A. B. Fluoropolymer classification. The fluoropolymers can all be classified as semi-crystalline high performance. thermoplastics. This means that they have a random molecular orientation when in the. molten phase but have densely packed crystallites in the solid phase...
