Polymer Mechanics Aims and scope

Abstract

The distribution of the spherulitic structure of a crystalline polymer has been experimentally investigated with reference to the example of polyformaldehyde (PF). Experimental histograms and distribution curves have been constructed for the distances between the centers of the spherulites in unfilled PF and PF filled with mullite particles of varying shape and size before and after aging and multiple melting. Similar data have also been obtained for the angles between the lines of centers of the spherulites. The results are closely correlated with the changes in the structure and the physicochemical and mechanical properties of PF accompanying the above-mentioned processes.
