From the author: A comparative study of the crystallization and orientation development in injection molding isotactic and syndiotactic polypropylenes was made. The injection molded samples were characterized using wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) techniques and birefringence. The injection molded isotactic polypropylene samples formed well-defined sublayers (skin, shear and core zones) and exhibited polymorphic crystal structures of the monoclinic [alpha]-form and the hexagonal [beta]-form. Considerable amounts of [beta]-form crystal were formed in the shear and core zones, depending on the injection pressure or on the packing pressure. The isotactic polypropylene samples had relatively high frozen-in orientations in the skin layer and the shear zone. The injection molded syndiotactic polypropylene exhibited the disordered Form I structure, but it did not appear to crystallize during the mold-filling stage because of its slow crystallization rate and to develop a distinct shear zone. The core zone orientation was greatly increased by application of high packing pressure. The isotactic polypropylene samples exhibited much higher birefringence than the syndiotactic polypropylene samples at the skin and shear layers, whereas both materials exhibited similar levels of crystalline orientation in these layers.

From the author: X-ray diffraction methods and polarized optical microscopy have been used to investigate the structural change of syndiotactic polystyrene/clay nanocomposites. The nanocomposite has prepared by mixing an sPS polymer solution with organically modified montmorillonite. Both X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy results indicate that most of the swellable silicate layers are exfoliated and randomly dispersed into the sPS matrix. The X-ray diffraction data also show the presence of polymorphism in sPS/clay nanocomposites, which is strongly dependent on the thermal history of the nanocomposites from the melt and on the content of clay. In this study, the effect of premelting temperatures and crystallization temperatures of sPS and sPS/clay nanocomposites on their crystalline phases is discussed.

From the author: Thermotropic liquid crystalline polyurethanes (LCPUs) were synthesized through the polyaddition reaction of 2,4-toluene diisocyanate (2,4-TDI), 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI), or o-toluidine diisocyanate (ODI) with 4,4'-bis(6-hydroxyhexoxy)biphenyl, and the effect of the structures of the diisocyanates on the properties of LCPUs were investigated. Intrinsic viscosities of the polymers were in the range of 0.23-0.30 dL/g. Mesomorphic behavior of the polyurethanes were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, polarized optical microscopy, and wide-angle X-ray scattering. Different mesomorphic behaviors were observed according to the different structural characteristics of diisocyanates. Polyurethanes employing 2,4-TDI and MDI exhibited monotropic behaviors, while that with ODI showed enantiotropic behavior. POLYM. ENG. SCI., 47:439-446, 2007. [c] 2007 Society of Plastics Engineers

From the author: Microcellular foam processing of polymers requires a nucleated cell density greater than [10.sup.9] cells/[cm.sup.3] so that the fully grown cells are smaller than 10 [[micro]meter]. A microcellular foam can be developed by first saturating a polymer sample with a volatile blowing agent, followed by rapidly decreasing its solubility in the polymer. In general, the cellular structure of semicrystalline polymer foams is difficult to control, compared to that of amorphous polymer foams. Since the gas does not dissolve in the crystallites (1), the polymer/gas solution formed during the microcellular processing is nonuniform. Moreover, the bubble nucleation is nonhomogeneous because of the heterogeneous nature of the semicrystalline polymer. In this paper, the effects of the crystallinity and morphology of semicrystalline polymers on the microcellular foam processing and on the cellular structure of products are investigated. First, polymer specimens with various crystallinities and morphologies were prepared by varying the cooling rate of the polymer melt. Then, the solubility and diffusivity of the blowing agent in and through specimens were studied. The specimens with differing crystallinities and morphologies were foamed and their cellular structures were compared. The experimental results agree with theoretical predictions, indicating that the crystallinity and morphology of semicrystalline polymers exert a strong influence on the foam processing and the structure of the product.

From the author: A thermotropic liquid crystalline polyester (TLCP), denoted as TLCP3 and based on hydroxybenzoic acid, hydroquinone and sebacic acid, was used as a processing aid in the extrusion of high molecular mass polyethylene (HMMPE). This TLCP is in the nematic phase at 179.6-182 [degrees] C. Capillary rheometry experiments were carried out at two processing temperatures: 190 [degrees] C and 230 [degrees] C. At 190 [degrees] C TLCP3 is predominantly nematic and at 230 [degrees] C it is predominantly isotropic. It is an effective processing aid for HMMPE, particularly at 190 [degrees] C, with viscosity reductions in excess of 90% with a 1 wt% TLCP3/HMMPE blend. The rheological characteristics of the blends have been linked to the optical textures of the TLCP3 using hot-stage optical microscopy. From the experimental observations speculations are made about the mechanisms of viscosity reduction. Initial viscosity reductions are caused by TLCP3 structure effects (fibrillation and phase change), giving rise to fibrillation-induced molecular orientation in the neighboring HMMPE phase. This is only effective when nematic structures are present. Above a critical wall shear stress value the lubrication effect due to TLCP3 migration is dominant.

From the supplier: Thermotropic liquid crystalline copolyester poly(hydoxybenzoic acid-co-ethylene terephthalate) or LCP is ideal for processed articles in high performance applications. Along with poly(ethylene terephthalate) or PET, these components were processed into sheath-core type bicomponent fibers that could be spun up to a take-up velocity of eight km per min. On the other hand, LCP core components, observed to have a take-up velocity of four km per min, increased in its overall orientation. This resulted in its increase in tensile modulus.

Book Description
In Women of the Silk Gail Tsukiyama takes her readers back to rural China in 1926, where a group of women forge a sisterhood amidst the reeling machines that reverberate and clamor in a vast silk factory from dawn to dusk. Leading the first strike the village has ever seen, the young women use the strength of their ambition, dreams, and friendship to achieve the freedom they could never have hoped for on their own. Tsukiyama's graceful prose weaves the details of "the silk work" and Chinese village life into a story of courage and strength.

HISTORY OF SILK .......2007-08-28
Follow the story of Pei, brought by her reluctant father to work in the silk house in 1919 at the age of seven, as she acclimates to her new environment and overcomes many obstacles and twists of fate to become a quietly determined young woman.
Focusing on the theme of the Chinese family, this beautiful narrative first exposes us to the culture and difficult circumstances of village life and later to the dawn to dusk struggle facing each of the silk factory women (who are in reality children when they are brought to the factory). Most are here to help in supporting their families at home.......some are here willingly, others not.
Tsukiyama shows us that these "silk women" are themselves a family in the truest sense of the word, with each member focused on their individual ambitions, dreams and situations, while accepting the desires of their "sisters" and remaining devoted and fiercely loyal to one another as they struggle for survival. Slowly comes the reader's realization that it takes more than an accident of birth to make one a mother, and that the lack of common genetic material does not make these women any less a family.
This has all the ingredients of a great read.......love, compassion, ambition, deceit, abandonment, courage and of course a great history lesson in women's rights (or lack of them). If Snowflower and the Secret Fan is one of your favorites, this one will also be added to your list of MUST READS.
A wonderful book.......2007-08-03
This is a wonderful, albeit sad, story. Gave me a lot of insight into life in China during the Japanese invasion in the early 20th century. It was a book I found difficult to put down. I highly recommend it.
This was a beautifully written page turner........2007-06-16
Please don't miss this wonderful story about silk workers in China. I could not put this book down. It took me to another world and inside the characters hearts.
Tsukiyama book.......2007-03-10
Beautiful book about the Silk trade in China prior to the invasion of Japan. Writer's parents are Japanese and Chinese.
Very interesting, well-written novel.......2007-01-24
Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It is the second I've read by this author and I liked them both very much.
I don't know a lot about Chinese customs, so I don't know if some of the ones listed in the book are fictional or are real. Some didn't make a lot of sense to me. I didn't understand why a woman entering into the hairdressing ceremony couldn't marry, but a married woman (not widowed, but currently wed) could enter into the hairdressing ceremony. That seems like a double standard. And, I didn't understand why Pei couldn't just move into the Sister's house (which sounded like a type of sorority). Other young women there didn't have to go through the hairdressing ceremony to live there. She only wanted to go there to be with her best friend, Lin. So, why did she have to go through the ceremony?
There was one scene in which Pei comforts her crying best friend and it mentions something about desire and then skips around. It almost hinted at a homosexual encounter, but was mostly just confusing. Other than that, most of the book was clear and very well written.
I didn't like they way the book skipped over certain things. For example, in one scene, Pei was just abandoned by her father and oriented at the silk factory. In the next, she had been working there for four years.
I was disappointed in a couple of things, however. I'd hoped that Pei would get together with Lin's younger brother. They seemed to like each other from the day they met. And, also I was hoping that she would locate her sister, Li. Also, the fact that they continuously refer to people of other nationalities as "devils" became old and annoying very fast.

An indispensable guide to women who write mystery series........1998-12-29
I loved the first Silk Stalkings, and am thrilled with the new edition, which contains well-researched, cross-indexed information about my favorite kind of author--women who write series mysteries. The book is cross-referenced and chock full of information, not the least of which are lists of authors with all their psuedonyms for those who write under more than one name. I couldn't do without this book.
