B. Schartel et Jh. Wendorff, Molecular composites for molecular reinforcement: A promising concept between success and failure, POLYM ENG S, 39(1), 1999, pp. 128-151
The basic principles of molecular reinforcement and especially the specific
approaches to obtain homogeneous composites with molecularly dispersed rig
id rods are focused on and discussed. Brief overviews and successful exampl
es of the available data covering the main characteristics are summarized.
