โฆ Synopsis
Values of the tensile compliance D for polymers ranging from hard plastics to rubbers have been estimated using a commercial thermomechanical analyzer in a novel manner. By slight modification of the standard instrumentation together with careful attention to experimental procedure, sample geometry, and data analysis, the values of D obtained for a wide variety of materials are shown to correlate well with values of the tensile modulus E obtained using more conventional techniques.
The method appears to be capable of quickly and easily estimating values of D-' ranging from to 5 x 109 pascals.
