Abstract: Abstract This paper addresses specific structural and mechanical behavior of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fibers and films with characteristic self-generated characteristic defects. Characteristic defects with multiple interfaces (as crazes and/or shear bands) are self-initiated in the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/pj.2017.61
Abstract: Direct surface modification of polymer fibers and films by surface-initiated polymerizations has been investigated. The introduction of initiating sites on the polymer materials and successive polymerization produce surface-tethered polymer chains on the polymer surface. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fchem.2019.00069
Abstract: Production of repetitive polypeptides that comprise one or more tandem copies of a single unit with distinct amorphous and ordered regions have been an interest for the last couple of decades. Their molecular structure provides… read more here.
