They describe ethylene methyl acrylate copolymer toughened polymethyl methacrylate blends and synthesis and characterization for thermal, mechanical, optical, and morphological properties; molecular dynamics simulation studies for binary blend miscibility; conformation and topology of cyclic linear polymer blends; strain hardening in blends with fibril morphology; modification using irradiation techniques; and directed assembly using nanopatterned chemical surfaces.
According to most accounts, the rings were adopted by Baron Pierre de Coubertin (founder of the modern Olympic Movement) in 1913 after he saw a similar design on an artifact from ancient Greece. The five rings represent the five major regions of the world: Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania.Every national flag in the world includes at least one of the five colors, which are (from left to right) blue, yellow, black, green, and red.It is important to emphasize that Pierre de Coubertin never said nor wrote that the colors of the rings were linked with the different continents.very national flag in the world includes at least one of the five colors, which are (from left to right) blue, yellow, black, green, and red.

The Olympic flame is a symbol of the Olympic Games. Commemorating the theft of fire from the Greek god Zeus by Prometheus, its origins lie in ancient Greece, where a fire was kept burning throughout the celebration of the ancient Olympics. The 2012 Summer Olympics flame in London was carried by Sir Steve Redgrave to a group of young British athletes. 2  The group of seven, nominated by British Olympic champions, each lit a single tiny flame on the ground, igniting 204 petals, one for each competing nation or territory during the Parade of Nations.
