This volume provides a fully cross-referenced and concisely presented overview of the most important aspects of the mechanical properties of polymers. Short articles provide a quick reference guide for the busy professional as well as a resource for postgraduate and undergraduate students. Coverage includes both background theory and test methods as well as comprehensive summaries of the areas of adiabatic shear, high rate behaviour, anelastic deformation, friction and wear, computer modelling, and structure-property relationships. Written by experienced scientists, each short article introduces a particular aspect of polymer properties and is accompanied by a list of references where in-depth information may be found.
