      (České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2020)
      Cross-linking is a process in which polymer chains are associated through chemical bonds. Radiation, which penetrated through specimens and reacted with the cross-linking agent, gradually formed cross-linking (3D net), ...
    • WHY MONITOR ACOUSTIC EMISSIONS DURING NANOMECHANICAL TESTS? 

      Autor: Čtvrtlík, Radim; Václavek, Lukáš; Tomáštík, Jan
      (České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2020)
      Acoustic Emissions (AE) monitoring has been proved as an effective non-destructive technique at the macro scale. Nevertheless, it may also be employed at nano/micro scale during nanomechanical and nanotribological testing. ...
    • LOCAL NANO-MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF CROSS-LINKED POLYBUTYLENE 

      Autor: Ovsík, Martin; Staněk, Michal; Dočkal, Adam; Fluxa, Petr
      (České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2020)
      Cross-linking is a process in which polymer chains are associated through chemical bonds. The cross-linking level can be adjusted by the irradiation dosage and often by means of a cross-linking booster. The polymer additional ...
