## Abstract The photodegradable properties and characteristics of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) polymers were studied experimentally. Some important mechanical parameters under ultraviolet radiation were measured, such as the elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, fracture strength, and stressβstrain
A technique, employing samples in the form of tuning forks, to measure the mechanical properties of polymers is presented. Results for low density polyethylene, polypropylene, and polycarbonates are shown. A large transition is observed for polypropylene at approximately +lOΒ°C and a small transition
The addition of fillers can significantly change the mechanical characteristics of a material. In this paper, a general, mechanistic model is established to determine the moduli, relaxation moduli, break strengths, and break strains for polymer films containing liquid and solid micro fillers. Based
