Abstract:Gelation mechanisms of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) in dispersion solutions containing multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were investigated in terms of liquid-liquid phase separation mechanisms. When an incident beam of He-Ne gas laser was directed to the dispersion solution quenched to a desired temperature, the logarithm of scattered intensity increased linearly with elapsing time and tended to deviate from this linear relationship. The two different increasing behaviors of the scattered… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
