Диссертация
Диссертации. Сверхвысокомолекулярный полиэтилен (СВМПЭ) — это разновидность полиэтилена, в котором длина молекулярной цепи (С2Н4) превышает один миллионов углеродных единиц. Благодаря его уникальным свойствам — высокому сопротивлению изнашиванию и высокой ударной вязкости, СВМПЭ все чаще используется в промышленности в узлах трения деталей машин и механизмов. В медицине СВМПЭ впервые был… Читать ещё >
