## Abstract An investigation of the influence of the shortβchain branch length on the dynamic fatigue behavior of shortβchain branched polyethylenes (SBPE) is reported. The number of fatigue failure cycles (__N__~f~) increases significantly with increasing branch length at temperatures above the Ξ²β

## Abstract In order to investigate the effect of a notch on the tensile properties of polycarbonate and 30% glass fiberβreinforced polycarbonate, two types of notched specimens were prepared. These notches were a sharp 60Β° notch and a dull notch with rounded tip 1.5 mm in radius at the base of the
## Abstract Creep studies were carried out on a range of homopolymers and copolymers of polyethylene with wellβdefined molecular weight and branch content. The creep data were analyzed in terms of two thermally activated processes acting in parallel and the effects of molecular weight and branch co
