摘要:Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution some 200 years ago, science and technology have progressed at an ever increasing pace and the world's economy has grown remarkably. For the past 40 years as a material scientist I have participated in the generation and application of technology to an industrial economy. My talk will present some of my observations and thoughts about that process. Technology drives economic growth. During the past 200 years advances in manufacturing technology have not only increased man's productivity but also his ability to enter new, more complex technologies on a practical scale. Material science is one of technology's fundamental supports. Most technologies are materials dependent, often materials limited. Commercial jet aviation, the growing global communication network of satellites and fiber optics and the worldwide automobile industry depended opon metallurgy, ceramics and polymer science for their growth during the past 30—40 years. While metallurgy and ceramics have been known for centuries, polymer science emerged only in the past 60—70 years. Its effects have been profound and are projected to bring even greater changes in the future. To be effective technology must be relevant, timely and properly applied. To meet these requirements requires the efficient processing of vast amounts of data in order to integrate society's needs and wants with man's scientific and technological capabilities and his material and human resources. Emerging computer technology is the path to efficieny in this field. As the economies of the world continue to grow, nations will become more interdependent. While there is powerful and determined competition today in the world's econmic arena, science, technology and economics are universal languages which drive increasing levels of cooperation and collaboration among nations.
摘要:The complex and bonded types of polymer-metal catalysts are the important researching direction on polymeric catalysts. And they have excellent catalytic efficiency and certainly applying prospect. The studying development on their synthesis and properties is reviewed in this paper.
摘要:Relationship between molecular structure and mechanical properties were reviewed for the several high modulus/high strength polymers. A variety of techniques used this area, such as ultra-drawing, solidstate polymerization and liquid crystal spinning were also introduced.
摘要:This is a review on polymer toughening by non-elastomer. The toughening mechanisms of rubber-modified plastics are reviewed first. Then the concept of Rigid Organic Filler (ROF) and Cold-drawing, and methods of analysing the toughened system are introduced, and experiments in polymer blends consisting of brittle polymer particles dispersed in ductile polymers are cited to explain them. By comparision with the toughening mechanisms of rubber-modified plastics, it is concluded that toughening by such non-elastomer is a new mechanism and is a potential new route to toughened plastics.

摘要:The nature of a polymer surface governs the processes involved in interaction between blood and material. In this paper, we surnmarize the techniques used to measure surface propertied, review the hypotheses for the blood compatibility of biomaterials, and discuss the unique properties of some common biomedical polymeric surfaces.
摘要:A review with 66 references on the ionic conducting mechanism, properties, recent developments and future application of polymeric solid electrolytes.
摘要:The polymeric materials as the chromatograpnic stationary phase have been described bbriefly in this review inclbding the general situation, the separation principle on the gas and liquid chromatography.
