ENGINEERING PROPERTIES OF
POLYMER
Visco-elasic properties of polymers
INTRODUCTION
Polymeric materials are viscoelastic.
Exhibit both viscous and elastic behavior
ELASTIC
characteristic of solids
react like a spring, stress () immediately deforms to strain ()
recovers original dimensions when stress removed
strain is proportional to the applied stress, but independent of the
rate of deformation
VISCOUS
characteristic of liquids
instant response to stress is flow
tend to irreversible deformation
stress is proportional to the rate of strain

Elastic behaviour :
A) At low strains for all material
Stress
Elastic behaviour :
B) At low stresses (but large
elongation) for elastomer (e.g
rubber elasticity)

2. Viscous dashpots
with viscosity h which
follows Newtons law.
Mechanical Model
1. Maxwell Model
Spring and dashpot align in series
2. Kevin or Voigt Model
Spring and dashpot align in parallel
3. Maxwell and Kelvin Models in series

iii) Recovery
When the stress is removed
there
is
an
instantaneous
recovery of the elastic strain,,
and then as shown by equation
(5), the strain rate is zero so that
there is no further recovery.
