Fractal Mechanics of Polymers

Fractal Mechanics of Polymers

This new book explores the consideration of relationships that connect the structural and basic mechanical properties of polymeric mediums within the frameworks of fractal analysis with cluster model representations attraction. Incidentally, the choice of any structural model of medium or their combinations is defined by expediency and further usage convenience only. This book presents leading-edge research in this rapidly changing and evolving field. The book presents descriptions of the main reactions of high-molecular substances within the frameworks of fractal analysis and irreversible aggregation models. Synergetics and percolation theory were also used. In spite of the enormous number of papers dealing with the influence of the medium on the rate of chemical reactions (including synthesis of polymers), no strict quantitative theory capable of "universal" application has been put forward up until now. It is now possible to describe the relationship between the reaction rate constants and the equilibrium constants with the nature of the medium in which the reactions take place by means of a single equation. This important book for the first time gives structural and physical grounds of polymers synthesis and curing, and the fractal analysis is used for this purpose.This new book: • Highlights some important areas of current interest in polymer products and chemical processes• Focuses on topics with more advanced methods• Emphasizes precise mathematical development and actual experimental details• Analyzes theories to formulate and prove the physicochemical principles• Provides an up-to-date and thorough exposition of the present state of the art of complex polymeric materials

In recent years, high-stiffness, high-strength, and lightweight composite materials have gained recognition as a significant cutting edge technology with a potential to generate efficient power, reinvent the high-efficiency transportation sector, offer new carriages for storage and transportation of reduced carbon fuels, and enhance renewable energy production. Presently, the structural components manufactured from polymeric materials in conjunction with various fibrous materials provide a cost-efficient solution for almost every industrial sector. A polymeric composite material is a multi-phase structure in which reinforcing fibers are integrated with a polymeric matrix material, resulting in a synergy of mechanical characteristics that cannot be realized from either of the components alone. This book familiarizes the readers with fibers and polymeric matrix materials, which are the constituents of a typical polymer composite. It is believed that this book can serve as a greatly valuable reference for a varied range of readers, including scientists, engineers, policymakers, and professors.

In the field of tribology, the wear behaviour of polymers and composite materials is considered a highly non-linear phenomenon. Wear of Polymers and Composites introduces fundamentals of polymers and composites tribology. The book suggests a new approach to explore the effect of applied load and surface defects on the fatigue wear behaviour of polymers, using a new tribometer and thorough experiments. It discusses effects of surface cracks, under different static and cyclic loading parameters on wear, and presents an intelligent algorithm, in the form of a neural network, to map the relationship between wear rate and relevant factors. Using the aforementioned method leads to more accurate and cost effective prediction of surface fatigue wear rates, under different service conditions. The first three chapters of the book introduce polymers and composite materials tribology, followed by three chapters that cover testing in wear, applied load and contact pressure and surface defects. The remaining chapter moves on to predicting wear of polymers, and concludes by discussing questions and problems.

Molecularly Imprinted Polymers for Analytical Chemistry Applications
There is great interest in the preparation of synthetic receptor-based recognition units for cheap, robust, economic, and selective chemical sensors. Molecular imprinting provides the technology to prepare these synthetic units. There are still more and more syntheses of artificial molecular recognition constructs using analytes or their close structural analogues as templates for molecular imprinting. Stability of complexes of these constructs with the target analytes are often similar to those of biological receptors. Therefore, subsequent polymerization of these complexes results in molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) that have a selectivity close to that revealed by natural receptors. The book summarizes the latest developments and applications of molecular imprinting for selective chemical sensing with each chapter devoted to different analytical applications of molecularly imprinted polymers. Specific chapters include: designing of molecular cavities aided by computational modelling, application of molecularly imprinted polymers for separation as well as sensing of pharmaceuticals and nucleotides. The book is suitable for academics, postgraduates, and industrial researchers active in analytical chemistry, synthetic organic chemistry, molecular recognition, electrochemistry, and spectroscopy.
