| Pro-nature and pro-environment, the journal includes information as such topics as thermodynamic reversibility, negative entropy, direct applications of solar and wind energy, fuel cells, and other approaches that are "economically attractive, environmentally appealing and socially responsible," Nova said. The full reversibility and ease of switching indicate relevance and value to the chemical industry. If the temperature is not too high with respect to the stability of the polymer system, and the time is long enough to allow relaxation, but short enough to prevent any chemical relaxation, one can measure the extent and reversibility of this relaxation corresponding to changes in measured dimensions and loads. |
