A direct relation between molecular characteristics and macroscopic mechanical properties
of polymeric materials was subject of a vast number academic and industrial research …

A combined experimental and analytical investigation has been performed to understand
the mechanical behavior of two amorphous polymers—polycarbonate and poly (methyl …

The effects of strain rate and temperature on the inelastic response of a glassy polymer have
been studied. Deformation tests in uniaxial compression to strains of− 1.0 were conducted …

A DGEBA epoxy resin cured using dicyandiamide hardener, was modified by using two
types of CSR nano-particles over a range of volume fractions from 0 vol.% to 38 vol.%. The …

Porous polymer-based nanocomposites have been used for various applications due to
their advantages, including multi-functionalities, easy and known manufacturability, and low …

The influence of network density on the strain hardening behaviour of amorphous polymers
is studied. The network density of polystyrene is altered by blending with poly (2, 6-dimethyl …

Intrinsic strain softening appears to be the main cause for the occurrence of plastic
localization phenomena in deformation of glassy polymers. This is supported by the …

The thermomechanical behavior of two common polymers, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)
and polycarbonate (PC), subjected to compressive dynamic loading was investigated in this …

The macroscopic deformation behaviour of amorphous polymers is dominated by
localisation phenomena like necking and crazing. Finite element simulations show that the …
