...C. R. MacLaine; P. Acarnley; J. Shanahan; P. Mousalli; M. Deighton Many industrial processes involve the transportation of a continuous web of material over a series of rollers to obtain a finished product. The manufacture of polymer film is one such web transport process, which utilizes a series...

... finite element analysis polymer films rods (structures) Coatings are used for a variety of purposes—functional, protective, or decorative in various applications. Polymer coatings, applied on metal substrates, can protect metal surfaces from oxidation and can act as a solid lubricant...

...Richard R. Meehan; S. J. Burns An experiment was designed to relate force to plastic deformation caused by a wedge indenting the edge surface of a polymer sample. The experiment reveals the primary phenomena observed in industrial converting processes of cutting and slitting of thin polymer films...
