Results similar to those observed for plasma-treated HDPE were obtained with amorphous, atactic polystyrene (a-PS) films coated with 50- and 100-nm gold, when embossing was conducted at 80–100 ...

This paper investigates the electrical breakdown of biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film during accelerated DC and thermal ageing. The DC breakdown voltage of 6.5 μm thick capacitor grade ...

Syndiotactic polypropylene (s-PP) is an extrudable polymer with properties which should make it highly suitable as high voltage cable insulation, including high AC breakdown strength, flexibility and ...

Two dinuclear aluminum complexes bearing dinaphthalene bridging Schiff bases have been synthesized and investigated as catalysts in ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of cyclic esters such as ...

This paper reports a comprehensive study on the synthesis and self-assembly of two model series of molecular shape amphiphiles, namely, hydrophilic [60]fullerene (AC60) tethered with one or two ...
