Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.Phosphorus‐modified TPUs are prepared by one‐step, solvent‐free reactive melt processing using phosphate‐ or phosphonate‐containing diols and PEG or PPG soft segments. Fire behavior and mechanical response depend strongly on both chemistries. Peak heat release rate decreases by up to 54%, but reduced tensile strength and V‐2 dripping behavior reveal a ...

Sensitivity of 3D Base‐Isolated Buildings to Individual Isolator Variability
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2653-2668, September 2026.ABSTRACT Variability in elastomeric isolators arises from differences in rubber formulation and curing, leading to noticeable changes in stiffness and damping among nominally identical bearings. While most previous studies have examined global isolator variability associated with environmental or aging effects, individual isolator variability has ...
