The effect of crystallization and orientation on the dynamic mechanical properties of some polymers

article
Measurements of Young's modulusE and the appropriate loss tangent are reported for nylon-6, poly-vinylalcohol, a polyurea and natural rubber in fibre-form in the frequency range of 2.10−1 to 105 Hz at room temperature and at a relative humidity of 65%. The influence of orientation and crystallization on the mechanical properties was studied. At one particular frequency the Young's modulus and the loss tangent were measured as a function of temperature. Here, too, the influence of orientation was studied.
