Carbon nanotube–polymer composites: Chemistry, processing, mechanical and electrical properties

Polyamide fabric, also known as nylon fabric, is a form of plastic.Polyamide fabric, like polyester fabric, is a polymer. It is manufactured through a chemical process. In short, high amounts of heat and pressure are applied to fossil fuels to yield sheets of polyamide and nyl

The microstructure of a polymer (sometimes called configuration) relates to the physical arrangement of monomer residues along the backbone of the chain. These are the elements of polymer structure that require the breaking of a …

T g often depends on the history of the sample, particularly previous heat treatment, mechanical manipulation and annealing. It is sometimes interpreted as the temperature above which significant portions of polymer chains are able to slide past each other in response to an applied force.

Nylon is a generic designation for a family of synthetic polymers, based on aliphatic or semi-aromatic polyamides.Nylon is a thermoplastic silky material that can be melt-processed into fibers, films or shapes.

2 Note: 1. For unreinforced materials, preferred mold temperature shall be about 30 °C (50 °F) lower than corresponding reinforced grades. 2.

Polymer: Polymer, any of a class of natural or synthetic substances composed of very large molecules that are multiples of simpler chemical units.
