How does it work? A simple explanation is offered

modification reduces the molecular weight of the polymer,% X" w, _* ]7 x
which in turn reduces its melt viscosity. Lower

chains. This facilitates diffusion and

Quality of a welded area is defined by the strength' S D0 t2 O: f3 t2 N$ O( Z

is to cut a microtensile bar specimen in such a way
