TLDR
In this article, extensive studies of the viscoelastic properties of polymers undertaken in the author's laboratory by means of the method of stress relaxation are reviewed and a rather complete over-all picture of these phenomena seems to be emerging.
Abstract
Extensive studies of the viscoelastic properties of polymers undertaken in the author's laboratory by means of the method of stress relaxation are here reviewed The discussion is divided into four parts: chemical stress relaxation, stress relaxation in amorphous polymers, stress relaxation in crystalline polymers, and stress relaxation in certain natural polymers and polyelectrolytes Mathematical description of the phenomena are presented in simple form The relation between structure and viscoelastic properties of polymers are discussed and a rather complete over‐all picture of these phenomena seems to be emerging

Dynamic covalent chemistry in polymer networks: a mechanistic perspective

TL;DR: In this article, a selection of such chemistries is highlighted, with a particular focus on the reaction mechanisms of molecular network rearrangements, and on how various mechanistic profiles can be related to the mechanical and physicochemical properties of polymer materials, in particular in relation with vitrimers, the recently defined third category of polymeric materials.

Beziehungen zwischen elastischen Konstanten und Dehnungsdoppelbrechung hochelastischer Stoffe

TL;DR: In this article, the optischen Doppelbrechung zur mechanischen Ruckstellkraft (dyn/cm2) erweist sich dabei als unabhangig von der Anzahl der pro cm3 der Substanz vorhandenen Kristallite.

Mechanical Properties of Polymeric Materials

TL;DR: In this paper, a molecular model in terms of which the elastic viscous properties of rubber-like substances can be interpreted is presented, and experiments on stress relaxation at constant extension, creep under constant load, extrusion, vibration, and breaking are discussed.

Stress Relaxation of Natural and Synthetic Rubber Stocks

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured stress decay as a function of time made at constant elongation on thin bands of gum and tread type natural rubber (Hevea), Neoprene, Butyl, Buna S, and Butaprene N stocks indicate that both secondary and primary bond relaxation occur.
