Topics in polymer physics

by Stein, Richard S., Powers, Joseph

0 Type: Book

"This book can serve as an introduction to students interested in learning the techniques used in developing mathematical models of physical phenomenon in polymers; or it can furnish the background information to the experienced professional desiring to broaden his/her knowledge…

This dissertation presents an original investigation of several topics related to seismicanalysis and currently-implemented code-design procedures for seismically isolatedstructures, focusing primarily on high-damping rubber-based isolators.

A series of particulate reinforced natural rubber composites are prepared using both model (glass sphere) and commercial (carbon black and precipitated silica) reinforcing filler materials having a range of surface activities. Small strain reinforcement and viscoelastic behaviou…

This study aims to understand the behaviour of a novel elastomer where hollow microspheres are used as a particulate filler. The behaviour of elastomers filled with rigid particles, is fairly well understood, where the stiffness increases as the amount of filler material is incr…

Extralegal groups in post-conflict Liberia: how trade makes the state

by Cheng, Christine

0 Type: Book

In the aftermath of the Liberian civil war, groups of ex-combatants seized control of natural resource enclaves in the rubber, diamond, and timber sectors. With some of them threatening a return to war, these groups were widely viewed as the most significant threats to Liberia's…

This research looks at the Siam-Singapore rice trade after the signing of the Bowring Treaty between Siam and Britain in 1855 up to the First World War. As a result of the opening up of export opportunities, Siamese rice trade experienced exponential expansion. Examining both We…

The study is an investigation of the sustainability of agriculture in Nigeria using Rubber as case study. Edo and Abia states were sampled for the study with 300 questionnaires administered in 10 communities among rubber farmers. The study is an investigation of the socio-demogr…

Rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis (Wild ex Adr. De Juss) Muell Arg.) plantations in Malaysia are important sources of natural rubber and wood products. Effective management and appropriate policy for these resources require reliable information on resource dynamics and forecasts o…
