Interpretation:
An example of a thermoplastic elastomer based on an interpenetrating polymer network is to be given along with the method of its preparation.
Concept Introduction:
Thermoplastic elastomers are the polymers which belong to the class of copolymers and have both the properties of thermoplastics and elastomers. Due to this they can be substantially stretched to moderate elongation on application of force and upon its removal tends to go back to their near original shape.
Interpenetrating polymer networks are the class of polymers which contains two or more networks of polymers that are partially interlaced to each other but are not bonded covalently to each other. These polymers cannot be separated from each other without the chemical bonds being broken.

- . 30-dB, right-circularly polarized antenna in a radio link radiates 5-W of power t 2 GHz. The input impedance of this antenna is 75 ohms, and it is attached ɔ a 50-ohm transmission line. The receiving antenna has an impedance mismatch at its terminals, - which leads to a VSWR of 2. The receiving antenna is about 95% efficient and has a field pattern near the beam maximum given by E, = (2âx + jây) F, (0, 0). The distance between the two antennas is 4,000 km, and the receiving antenna Directivity is 100. Determine the Minimum power Delivered to receiving antenna. 1arrow_forwardCan you design a (Open Channel): -Most Efficient Section (Rectangle Shape) -Cost Estimate -Structural Analysis Design Requirements: Bed Slope= 1:1500 Manning's (n)= 0.015 Discharge: Q= 18 m^3/sarrow_forward5.112 A mounting bracket for electronic components is formed from sheet metal with a uniform thickness.

If no cars are in the lane, then the green lights turn ON. Upon turning ON the main switch button, the main switch indicator should turn ON and the system should start with green lights ON and red lights OFF?arrow_forwardWhat is Highway engineeringarrow_forward3-4) 3.4-2 Signals g₁(t) = 104П(104) and g2(t) = 8(t) are applied at the inputs of the ideal low-pass filters H₁(f)=(f/20,000) and H2(f) = П(f/10,000) (Fig. P3.4-2).

Design a storage and distribution system for the town of Waffle. The requirements are that fire protection shall be provided, the minimum water pressure at the top of the apartments is to be 240 kPa and the maximum system pressure is to be 550 kPa.
