has important theoretical implications for the understanding of the molecular origin of polymer me-chanical behavior (3,4,6,35,42-45) and plays a central role in establishing the framework, mentioned above, which relates the properties of different polymers to each other (3;46.47).

photothermal techniques have proved to be a valuable tool to thermal characterization of solids, liquids and gases (Vargas & Miranda, 2003). This is one of the non-destructive laser-induced photothermal techniques that are based on the detection of periodic thermal waves generated due to a n[r]

conductivity may still increase with temperature for some materials that melt or de-compose before the maximum is reached. The molar specific heat of many simplematerials reaches approximately 3R at moderate temperatures, in accordance withthe observations of Dulong and Petit (see, e.g., Brown, 1967;[r]

) also shifted upward [6]. The εrmax of PMN reached the highest value with the addition of only 10 mol% PT [7, 8]. The 0.9PMN-0.1PT [PMNT] is thus known as one of the most popular ferroelectric compositions which show a high dielectric constant and a high electrostrictive strain for multilayer capac[r]

electronic properties of CNTs could vary widely from tube to tube and they could be metallic or semiconducting depending on their structure (e.g. tube chirality) and diameter [16][17][18][19]. However, recent studies showed that the electronic properties of a given nanotube were not only specified b[r]

The sum of the microcontactareas, called the real area of contact, is a small fraction of the apparent contactarea. Thermomechanical models are available for obtaining[r]
