Vieillessement oxydant des polymères
Author: VERDU Jacques
Publisher: Lavoisier
ISBN: 2746282976
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 402
Book Description
L'oxydation est le mode le plus général de vieillissement des polymères. Peu de domaines d'application de ces matériaux échappent à des préoccupations de durabilité liées au vieillissement oxydant. Les concepteurs et utilisateurs de ces matériaux ont besoin d'outils fiables pour la prédiction de durée de vie. Seule une approche non empirique peut garantir une telle fiabilité. Elle implique une série d'étapes relevant de disciplines différentes comme la chimie organique radicalaire, la physico-chimie macromoléculaire, la physique des processus de transport et la physique des polymères. Le présent ouvrage consacre un chapitre à chacune des étapes de cette démarche en mettant l'accent sur les aspects cinétiques présentés de manière originale. Une attention particulière est portée aux liens entre les différentes disciplines qui, jusqu'ici, avaient tendance à s'ignorer. Les chercheurs et ingénieurs concernés par le problème trouveront dans cet ouvrage des éléments pour accomplir la totalité de la démarche de prédiction de durée de vie, du mécanisme réactionnel à l'évolution des propriétés mécaniques.

Optoelectronics of Molecules and Polymers
Author: André Moliton
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 0387251030
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 513
Book Description
Optoelectronic devices are currently being developed at an extraordinary rate. Organic light-emitting diodes, photovoltaic devices and electro-optical modulators are pivotal to the future of displays, photosensors and solar cells, and communication technologies. This book details the theories underlying the mechanisms involved in the relevant organic materials and covers, at a basic level, how the organic components are made. The first part of the book introduces the fundamental theories used to describe ordered solids and goes onto detail on concepts applicable to localised energy levels. Then the methods used to determine energy levels particular to perfectly ordered molecular and macromolecular systems are discussed along with a detailed consideration of the effects of quasi-particles. The function of excitons and their transfer between two molecules is studied and, in addition, the problems associated with interfaces and charge injection into resistive media are presented. More technological aspects are covered in the second part, which details the actual methods used to fabricate devices based on organic materials, such as dry etching. The principal characterisation techniques are also highlighted. Specific attention is paid to visual displays using organic light-emitting diodes; the conversion of photons into electrical energy (the photovoltaic effect); and for communications and information technologies, the electro-optical modulation of signals.

Introduction à la physique des polymères
Author: Serge Etienne
Publisher:
ISBN: 9782100058358
Category :
Languages : fr
Pages : 312
Book Description
Les polymères constituent une classe de matériaux aux propriétés particulières dues à la présence simultanée de liaisons faibles intermoléculaires et fortes intramoléculaires. Le cours présenté dans ce livre étudie les conséquences de cette diversité de liaisons sur les propriétés physiques (volume spécifique, chaleur spécifique, viscosité, conductibilité, indices de réfraction optique et comportement diélectrique, élasticité...), propriétés qui sont en général fortement fonction de la température. Beaucoup de phénomènes importants pour les polymères sont liés à la mobilité moléculaire, comme la viscoélasticité qui est étudiée de façon plus approfondie et en liaison avec la transition vitreuse. Cet ouvrage aborde également la cristallisation des polymères et la spécificité des matériaux semi-cristallins. Les techniques de caractérisation basées sur l'interaction rayonnement-matière sont également étudiées. Il faut souligner la cohérence de l'ensemble du cours qui est présenté suivant une approche physique. Cet ouvrage s'adresse aux étudiants en 2e et 3e cycles de physique et chimie-physique ainsi qu'aux étudiants en mécanique, génie mécanique sciences et technologies industrielles. Il intéressera également les ingénieurs désirant approfondir leurs connaissances dans le domaine des polymères. Les solutions des exercices et des informations complémentaires sont disponibles sur le site web des auteurs.

Polymer Crystallization
Author: Günter Reiter
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3540443428
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 403
Book Description
The classical view on polymer crystallization basically focused on the expla- tion of a few macroscopically observable parameters like the thickness of the resulting lamellar structure and the corresponding growth rates. However, the emerging paradigm for the description of chain crystals is too simple and cannot account for the complex non-equilibrium processes responsible for structure f- mation on various levels, ranging from the nanometer up to the millimeter scale. This complexity detected by several novel experimental results led to a renewed interest in this ”old” topic of polymer crystallization. These new ?ndings c- cern the early stages of the crystallization process, crystal formation in con?ned geometries like ultra-thin ?lms and the competition between (micro)phase s- aration and crystallization in copolymers and blends. In particular, high spatial resolution techniques such as atomic force microscopy provided deeper insight into the molecular organization of crystallizable polymers. Computer simu- tions based on microscopic processes were used to improve our understanding of how polymer crystals are nucleated and how they grow. New ideas emerged about possible multistage pathways which are followed during the formation of polymer lamellae. The importance and the consequences of the non-equilibrium character of polymer crystals got signi?cantly more attention. Links and ana- gies to growth phenomena and pattern formation in general are being developed. However, these ideas are still subject of intensive and controversial discussions.

Polymer Tribology
Author: Sujeet K Sinha
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 1908978864
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 724
Book Description
This book deals with the new and now-expanding field of friction, wear, and other surface-related mechanical phenomena for polymers. Polymers have been used in various forms such as bulk, films, and composites in applications where their friction, wear resistance, and other surface-related properties have been effectively utilized. There are also many examples in which polymers have performed extremely well, such as in tyres, shoes, brakes, gears, bearings, small moving parts in electronics and MEMS, cosmetics/hair products, and artificial human joints. Around the world, much research is currently being undertaken to develop new polymers, in different forms, for further enhancing tribological performance and for finding novel applications. Keeping in view the importance of tribology of polymers for research and technology as well as the vast literature that is now available in research papers and review articles, this timely book brings together a wealth of research data for an understanding of the basic principles of the subject./a
