The equilibrium shear modulus G of network polymers increases rapidly with the chain concentration ν when ν ≳ 10−3 mol/cm3. This behavior is accounted for by the equation G=ΦnνRTΓ(1/λm) where Φn(=rt2/r00) may depend on n, the mean number o

Several equations containing two empirical constants are considered for representing G(t), G′(ω), J′(ω), and J(t) in the glass-to-rubber dispersion zone. With these equations, data on the NBS polyisobutylene can be closely represented. The rela

Macroscopic fracture is preceded by localized deformation and rupture processes that depend on the state of combined stress (i.e., on the stress state) and other test conditions as well as on polymer structure and morphology. To illustrate the effect

The yield force (or stress) of polycarbonate in simple extension was studied to determine its dependence on deformation history, including the stretching rate, and temperature. At different temperatures, the stretching of a specimen at a constant rat

A novel method has been developed and tested to determine accurately the linear coefficient of thermal expansion α of flexible films without subjecting a specimen to a tensile load continuously during the measurement of expansion data. Other methods

Well annealed specimens of polycarbonate film were first subjected rapidly to a static elongation of 2.6% at 13 temperatures from −110 to 110°C. During stress relaxation at each temperature, the static strain was modulated with a sinusoidal tensil

For three series of bimodal networks, the stress-relaxation rates and the tearing energies were shown to exhibit maxima at about the same concentrations of short chains as those at which the tensile strengths, reported earlier, also exhibit maxima. T

A study was made of the physical aging of an annealed polycarbonate film at a constant extension of 2.6% at 5 temperatures from 30 to 110°C. During stress relaxation at the constant extension, the storage modulus in tension, E′, was determined by

Studies were made of the physical properties of the commercially available polyimide Upilex-SGA, which is prepared from biphenyl dianhydride and p-phenylene diamine. Annealing the Upilex-SGA for 2 hr Linder N2 at 400°C gave a film that expanded cont
