Brittleness of a polymeric material has a direct relationship with the material's performance and furthermore shares an inverse relationship with that material's flexibility. The concept of flexibility of …
Abstract This document addresses polymer materials for use in hydrogen service. Section 1 summarizes the applications of polymers in hydrogen infrastructure and vehicle fuel systems and identifies …
Fiber-reinforced polymer (plastic) piping has been identified as a leading candidate for the material system to transport and distribute hydrogen gas for the broad use of the Hydrogen Economy1. …
We present a new style of molecular dynamics and self-assembly simulation, the Lattice Polymer Automaton (LPA). In the LPA all interactions, including electromagnetic forces, are …
In the context of polymer science, we understand degradation as any change in the polymer structure which affects the mechanical, chemical, optical, or electrical proper- ties of the polymer …
This document addresses polymer materials for use in hydrogen service. Section 1 summarizes the applications of polymers in hydrogen infrastructure and vehicle fuel systems and identifies polymers …
Polymer degradation occurs when polymer ciains are broken under the influence of thermal, mechanical, or chemical energy. Chain-end depolymerization and random- and midpoint-chain scission are …
ABSTRACT In this paper, we report the progress we have made in fabrication of high-strength thin-walled glow discharge polymer (GDP) shells for cryogenic experiments at OMEGA. We have …
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) piping has been identified as a leading candidate for use in a transport system for the Hydrogen Economy. Understanding the permeation and leakage of …
