AkzoNobel’s range of organic peroxides for the crosslinking of elastomers and thermoplastics is the world’s largest, including a number of organic peroxides for the production of PEX-a pipes and tubes. Our products are marketed under the well-known trademark of Trigonox. When producing PE pipes and tubes, frequently high density polyethylene (HDPE) is used. To further improve the product proper...

Immiscible blends of elastomers present high technological interest, and the selection vulcanization system is important for optimization properties different technical applications. In particular, effect curing agents on distribution cross-links in each phase key full comprehension structure–property relationships. Aiming at understanding phase-specific network structure rubber blends, this wo...

Nonlinearity estimation and spectral regrowth prediction are crucial to power amplifier linearization. The correlation techniques shown here can estimate amplifier nonlinearity and predict out-of-band power spectrum. Crosscorrelation is performed between the output envelope and a test sequence generated from the input signal and can be carried out in background during amplifier operations. The ...

We present a novel and rigorous approach to the Langevin dynamics of ideal polymer chains subject to internal distance constraints. The permanent constraints are modelled by harmonic potentials in the limit when the strength of the potential approaches infinity (hard crosslinks). The crosslinks are assumed to exist between arbitrary pairs of monomers. Formally exact expressions for the resolven...
