Mechanical Properties of Textiles: VI. A Study of Creep of Fibers
TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between time and elongation was shown to be a linear one, in the range of small elongation, such as the ones commonly encountered in textile mechanics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fractionation of Polystyrene by Gel Filtration
TL;DR: Porath and Flodin this article described a simple and rapid method for the fractionation of water-soluble substances, which they called gel filtration, and applied aqueous solutions of the substances are applied to the top of a column containing swollen insoluble grains of cross-linked dextrans and are eluted with water ; fractions are collected from the bottom of the column in order of decreasing molecular weight.

Fracture Processes in Polymeric Materials. III. Topography of Fracture Surfaces of Poly(methyl Methacrylate)
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the mechanism of formation of the hyperbolas in the interference micrographs of poly(methyl methacrylate) fracture surfaces and showed that the surface topography is in accord with the second condition.

On the measurement of the activation energies for creep and stress relaxation
N. G. McCrum,E. L. Morris +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a theory was proposed which enables activation energies for creep (zH,), and stress relaxation (AHs) to be calculated when the limiting moduli vary with temperature.

Fracture of Amorphous Polymeric Solids: Time to Break
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors generalized the failure theory of Bueche and Halpin to obtain a prediction of the time dependence of the tensile strength and ultimate elongation of a viscoelastic body.
