The method includes rotating a drum about an axis of rotation. A discrete length of elastic substrate is positioned on the outer circumferential surface of the rotating drum, wherein the discrete length of elastic substrate is in a stretched state and defines a first length. The discrete length of elastic substrate may be defined by a first end region, a second end region, and a central region separating the first and second end regions. The method may comprise applying vacuum pressure to the first, second, and central regions of the discrete length of elastic substrate. Vacuum pressure may be reduced on the first and second end regions such that the discrete length of elastic substrate consolidates to a second length that is less than the first length. |

In the present process, reversibly crosslinking composites or storage-stable prepregs are produced by means of a hetero Diels-Alder reactions (HDA,) for example of PMMA polymers. At slightly elevated temperature, these prepregs can be reversibly decrosslinked again by a retro hetero Diels-Alder reaction so that they become moldable. The back-reaction to products which are again crosslinked or high molecular weight then takes place at room temperature. |

Methods for obtaining a profile for a batch, or lot, of a precursor material and using the profile while processing the precursor material to form a polymer are disclosed. In such a method, a process profile that corresponds to the characteristics of a particular precursor material (e.g., the batch, etc.) may be generated. That process profile may then be used to cause a material processing system to process the precursor material in a manner that accounts for differences between that precursor material and a “standard” precursor material, while providing a polymer and, optionally, a film of “standard” quality. Apparatuses and systems that are configured to obtain profile data for a batch of precursor material, generate or modify a process profile based on the profile data and use the process profile to form a polymer are also disclosed. |
