In this Paper the mechanical relaxation of polymers at low temperatures is investigated. The shear modulus, mechanical loss tangent, and damping behaviour of various amorphous and semicrystalline polymers are reported.

Investigation of crack propagation is one method for describing fracture behaviour. Crack propagation has therefore been investigated for two very different polymers, polyethylene (HDPE) and polystyrene (PS), at different cross-head speeds and the fracture energy has been extracted from these measur
