 You are given two different type of PET polymer. Their densities are
measured and the following data is found:
PET (marked as A) 1.30gm/cc
PET (marked as B) 1.50gm/cc
One of them is amorphous, whereas one of them is 35% crystallized.
The PET marked as ____ is 35% crystallized. Because ________

 Which of the following have a higher melting point?
a) Polymer A which has a molecular weight of 100.000gm/mole and
10% of the available sites are cross-linked
b) Polymer B which has a molecular weight of 100.000gm/mole and
20% of the available sites are cross-linked

 A square cross-section bar will be bend to an angle of 90°. The

ductility of the alloy is of prime importance for this application. In
order to select the most ductile metal among many alloys present in
the stock, I would apply a _____________________ testing method
to measure ductility. Because _______________________

 Several alloys show a well-defined yield point, i.e. the slope of -
changes suddenly. However, several others dont. For these alloys,
we use __________________ method, in order to find the yield
stress.
