An introduction to the statistical theory of polymer network formation
Chapitre d'ouvrage scientifique
Auteur
GILORMINI, PierreRésumé
A short but detailed introduction to the statistical theory of polymer network formation is given, including gel formation, gel structure, and sol fraction. Focus is put on the use of probability generating functions, and results that are of interest for polymer network elasticity are emphasized. Detailed derivations are supplied, and a simple 6-step procedure is provided, so that the reader is able to adapt and apply the theory to his own chemical systems, even if examples are given on polyurethanes essentially.

Some features of the PPR cohesive-zone model combined with a linear unloading/reloading relationship Article dans une revue avec comité de lecture(Elsevier, 2017)A loading/unloading/reloading process is applied to a cohesive zone where the model proposed by Park, Paulino and Roesler in 2009 is combined with a linear unloading/reloading relationship. The applied loading and unloading ...
