โœฆ Synopsis

We briefly present a description of a rubber, of the classical theories for rubber mechanical properties and of our small angle neutron scattering experiments, as a representative sample of observations at the molecular scale. We then comment about the comparison of our data with calculations from the classical models ("phantom network" and "junction affine"). Discrepancies appear, which are an opportunity to discuss the questions of defects, pendant chains and trapped entanglements and to make some remarks on the complicated connectivity of polymer networks even without chemical defects.

The introduction of rationalized design procedures for cast-in and post-installed anchors in Europe and the U.S. was intended to provide a uniform factor of safety for anchorages in concrete, regardless of loading type or failure mode. While this objective has largely been achieved, there remain a n

The difference between the vapour pressure of solvent above swollen crosslinked polyurethanes and that above linear polyurethane solutions has been determined experimentally. Comparison of the data over a range of volume fractions of solvent has enabled an estimate to be made of the factor B/A, the
