Melt flow index values and molecular weight distributions of commercial thermoplastics
TL;DR: In this article, the melting index (MI) values from a series of polystyrene, polypropylene, linear low-density polyethylenes (butene and octene copolymers) were measured and related to molecular weight distributions of these materials, and a simple relationship between 1/MI versus Mxw (where x = 3.4-3.7) was followed for the linear polymers with similar polydispersities.

Crystallization behavior and morphological characterization of poly(ether ether ketone)
TL;DR: In this paper, the crystal structure and morphology of poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) were investigated using standard differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), flash DSC, optical microscopy, atomic force microscopy and small angle X-ray scattering tools.

The influence of surface properties on sliding contact temperature and friction for polyetheretherketone (PEEK)
TL;DR: In this paper, infrared thermography was used to observe the full field temperature map of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) polymers against sapphire counterface during ball-on-disc sliding.

Effect of annealing on the viscoelastic behavior of poly(ether-ether-ketone)
TL;DR: In this article, a physics-based Ngai's Coupling model was chosen for the analysis, suggesting a higher degree of restriction on molecular mobility due to annealing, which is mainly attributed to the increases in the density of the amorphous phase and the crystallinity.

Effects of polyethylene molecular structure on peroxide crosslinking of low density polyethylene
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of molecular structure on the dicumyl peroxide crosslinking of two low density polyethylenes have been studied, and it was determined largely by the content of terminal vinyls in the two polymers.
