List of some addition polymers and their uses Polymer Abbreviation Properties Uses Low-density polyethylene: LDPE: Chemically inert, flexible, insulator: Squeeze bottles, toys, flexible pipes, insulation cover (electric wires), six-pack rings, etc. High-density polyethylene: HDPE: Inert, thermally stable, tough and high tensile strength
The ultimate tensile strength of a material is an intensive property; therefore its value does not depend on the size of the test specimen.However, depending on the material, it may be dependent on other factors, such as the preparation of the specimen, the presence or otherwise of surface defects, and the temperature of the test environment and material.
PCTFE has high tensile strength and good thermal characteristics. It is nonflammable [14] and the heat resistance is up to 175 °C. [15] It has a low coefficient of thermal expansion. The glass transition temperature (T g) is around 45 °C. [1] PCTFE has one of the highest limiting oxygen index (LOI). [16] It has good chemical resistance.
The novel polymeric alloy core layer/s is made of a high performance polymer compound with a storage modulus of ≥1400 MPa at 23 °C, measured by Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) at a frequency of 1 Hz according to ASTM D4065; or an ultimate tensile strength of at least 30 MPa.
The tensile strength of a material quantifies how much elongating stress the material will endure before failure. [49] [50] This is very important in applications that rely upon a polymer's physical strength or durability. For example, a rubber band with a higher tensile strength will hold a greater weight before snapping.
CMC materials with a low matrix content (down to zero) have a high tensile strength (close to the tensile strength of the fiber), but low bending strength. CMC materials with a low fiber content (down to zero) have a high bending strength (close to the strength of the monolithic ceramic), but no elongation beyond 0.05% under tensile load.
BoPET (biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate) is a polyester film made from stretched polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and is used for its high tensile strength, [1] chemical stability, [1] dimensional stability, [2] transparency [1] reflectivity, and electrical insulation. [1] When metallized, it has [3] gas and moisture barrier ...
This synthetic polymer material was invented and developed by SRI International in the 1980s and manufactured by Toyobo. [2] In generic usage, the fiber is referred to as PBO. [3] Zylon has 5.8 GPa of tensile strength, [4] which is 1.6 times that of Kevlar. Additionally, Zylon has a high Young's modulus of 270 GPa, meaning that it is stiffer ...
