Three experimental acrylic fibers were characterized by a variety of microscopical methods and by microradiography in order to correlate their microstructures with measured physical properties and to help explain certain test results. By establishntent of a relationship of optical appearances to physical properties for these fibers, future experimental fibers of similar composition could be evaluated and their behavior predicted by comparatively rapid optical methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
