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:

Glassy polymers: Historical findings, membrane applications, and unresolved questions regarding physical aging
TL;DR: In this article, the history of glassy polymers in membrane separation applications is discussed and open questions regarding the influence of thickness (e.g., membrane geometry) and temperature on physical aging in polymers are highlighted.

Tensile testing as a novel method for quantitatively evaluating bioabsorbable material degradation
TL;DR: In this study, biodegradation of 0.25-mm iron and magnesium wires was simulated in vitro through immersion in cell-culture medium with and without a fibrin coating, and the effective ultimate tensile stress was determined to be the mechanical metric that exhibited the smallest amount of variability.

Fracture toughness of nylon-6 blends with maleated rubbers
TL;DR: In this article, the fracture toughness of nylon-6 with maleated ethylene-propylene rubber and maleated styrene/hydrogenated butadiene/styrene triblock copolymer was investigated with a single-edge-notched three-point-bending instrumented Dynatup test.
