Mechanical Properties and Testing of Polymers Daniel W they were almost unanimous in 53 they were almost unanimous in their contention that such a survey would not work because "obviously" the great maj ity of respondents would refuse to reveal exactly who their employers were Die im Text angefUhrten Produkte werden zum Teil durch neue Untersuchungen beschrieben There are already many excellent books on the mechanical properties of polymers In this volume I have attempted to cover basic mechanical properties and test methods as well as the theory of polymer mechanical deformation and hope that the reader will find the approach useful
