Impact Strength Of Polymers. In thickness have shown impact strengths of 18 ftlbin. In fact it is shown that the thickness transition observed in impact strength for polycarbonates is governed by the residual stresses and not by thickness. However this value is 427 kJm-2 53 lower than the. In polycarbonates quenched sheets up to 38 in.
When testing rubbers for impact brittleness ASTM D 2137 is used. Important intrinsic factors are molecular structure molecular weight distribution cohesive energy and morphology crystallinity and crystall structure to name only a few factors. At thicknesses less than 316 in a ductile failure occurs for a notched Izod impact test and at thicknesses greater than 316 in a brittle fracture occurs. In thickness have shown impact strengths of 18 ftlbin. In polycarbonates quenched sheets up to 38 in. In the three-point bend test where failure is due to crazing 2000 nm particles had the most significant toughening effect.
However it has been shown that this embrittlement results from the absence of residual stress.
In polycarbonates quenched sheets up to 38 in. They also reported that in fiber-reinforced polymer composites and hybrid composites the impact properties are governed by the properties of the individual fibers used for hybridization interlaminar and interfacial adhesion between the fiber and the. At thicknesses less than 316 in a ductile failure occurs for a notched Izod impact test and at thicknesses greater than 316 in a brittle fracture occurs. Around 400C it has considerable strength equally at temperatures considerably below Tg it can deform plastically to a limited extent. In thickness can be embrittled by annealing showing an impact strength of 2 ftlbin. In polycarbonates quenched sheets up to 38 in.
