Principles of polymer engineering
TLDR
In this article, the elastic properties of polymeric solids and their properties of rubber are discussed. But they focus on the structure of the molecule rather than the properties of the solids.Abstract:

Tamper resistant dosage form comprising inorganic salt
TL;DR: In this article, a pharmaceutical dosage form exhibiting a breaking strength of at least 500 N, a dosage form containing a pharmacologically active ingredient (A); an inorganic salt (B); and a polyalkylene oxide (C) having a weight average molecular weight of at at least 200,000 g/mol, wherein the content of the polyalkane oxide was at least 20 wt.-%, based on the total weight of the dosage form.

Structure and Mechanical Properties of Polymers
TL;DR: A good reason for the widespread use of polymeric materials is that they present physical and chemical properties that are well tuned for different applications at a cost that is quite reasonable.

Design and validation of bending test method for characterization of miniature pediatric cortical bone specimens
TL;DR: A validated miniature three-point bending test is described that enables measurement of the flexural material properties of pediatric cortical osteotomy specimens as small as 5 mm in length and provides the first measures of bone material strength in this patient population.

K.L. Fung,Robert K.Y. Li +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the fracture behavior of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) modified by a maleic anhydride grafted styrene/ethylene/butadiene/styrene rubber (MA-g-SEBS) was investigated under both quasi-static and impact rates of loading.
