COVER STORY It is Tough Being a Polymer: Thermal Stability and Endurance |
| As the area of materials develop, we see many examples of inorganic materials being replaced with polymers: automobiles, aircrafts, robots, and tableware. Thermal stability and mechanical endurance make us envision one human character, “hard-boiled” and these factors are quite important for obtaining high performance polymers. “Hard-boiled (thermally and mechanically stable)” polymers are necessary for long-term use as a functioning device, however, here is a dilemma. Some of the readers might feel inherent weakness of polymer materials, e.g., “We want to use polymer, however, polymer has a problem of thermal stability, chemical resistance, robustness, and endurance etc.”. This issue introduces several striving stories related to thermally stable and mechanically robust polymers for practical use. Editors: MITSUISHI, NAKANO, HOSHINO, and MASHITA |
