Roll-drawing and die-drawing of toughened poly(ethylene terephthalate). Part 1. Structure and mechanical characterization

Polyethylene Fiber Drawing Optimization

Polymer fiber drawing creates fibers with enhanced thermal conductivity and strength compared to bulk polymer because drawing aligns the molecular chains. I optimize the polymer fiber drawing method in order to achieve polymer fibers that are drawn to lengths exceeding 1cm and develop a method to cut and store them for future experimental purposes. With lengths exceeding 1cm, starting with leng...

Morphology Development and Mechanical Properties Variation during Cold-Drawing of Polyethylene-Clay Nanocomposite Fibers

In this work, the influence of composition and cold-drawing on nanoand micro-scale morphology and tensile mechanical properties of PE/organoclay nanocomposite fibers was investigated. Nanocomposites were prepared by melt compounding in a twin-screw extruder, using a maleic anhydride grafted linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE–g–MA) and an organomodified montmorillonite (Dellite 67G) at three...

Iconic Drawing of Scenegraph Structure

In this paper we consider graph drawing for the application of scenegraphs as encoded by VRML97/X3D. As these fileformats store the structure and attributes of scenes in a directed acyclic graph, the techniques for drawing rooted trees are suitable but require much drawing space. Therefore we devised a smart, interactive drawing, which uses a detailed view of the current point of interest and a...
