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:

Introduction of a Methodology to Enhance the Stabilization Process of PAN Fibers by Modeling and Advanced Characterization.
TL;DR: It was shown that mechanical properties could be enhanced preferably by including a treatment step below 200 °C, before the initiation of cyclization reactions, and further confirmation was provided via Raman spectroscopy, which demonstrated that graphitic like planes are formed upon stabilization above 200°C, and thus multistage stabilization is required to optimize synthesis of carbon fibers.

Variation Simulation of Stresses Using the Method of Influence Coefficients
TL;DR: The use of the method of influence coefficients (MIC) to simulate the distribution of von Mises stresses in assembled components and will be compared to the more flexible but computationally much heavier direct Monte Carlo (DMC) method, which is not suitable for variation simulation due to the large number of runs required for statistical inference.

Interactive failure criteria for glass fibre reinforced polypropylene: validation on an industrial part
Massimo Nutini,Mario Vitali +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the failure of a material is defined as a function of the stress or strain tensor components, which are combined into a functional that denotes material failure when a tensor component fails.

Polymer Optic Technology
TL;DR: The role of polymers in optics and photonics is investigated in this article, where the authors cite polymers used in optics as well as examples of polymeric materials used in photonic applications.
