A stilbene-containing fluorinated polyimide with high optical and thermal stability was prepared. The photoinduced anisotropy in this polyimide was investigated by measuring its dichroism and photoinduced birefringence. A large photoinduced birefringence (Deltan approximately 10(-2)) was achieved in the polymer. Stabl…

Abstract Two metallocene ethylene‐1‐octene copolymers differing in comonomer content were cross‐linked either by dicumyl peroxide (DCP) or β‐radiation with doses ranging from 0.5 to 4% DCP and 25 to 200 kGy, respectively. The effect of cross‐linking on the crystalline morphology was analyzed by differential scanning c…

Very little work has been done in the area of spandex-blend weft knits. This paper presents the findings of knits produced from cotton/spandex- and polyester/spandex-blend knits produced from core spun yarns. The dimensional properties of cotton/spandex knits compare well with those of cotton knits. The behaviour of t…
