Quenching a glass-forming system below its transition temperature, T g, leads to a non-equilibrium state. Properties of the system slowly evolve toward equilibrium starting at the time quenched below ...

Polymer materials have become increasingly important across various industrial applications due to their distinctive physical and chemical properties. Among these, Young's modulus is a key mechanical ...

A common technique used to characterize the mechanical properties of bulk polymer specimens is known as DMA or Dynamic Mechanical Analysis. It is a technique in which oscillatory stress is placed on ...
