A Study of Polymers. I. Highly Elastic Deformation of Polymers

Abstract

Abstract 1. The proposed explanation of relaxation makes it possible to understand the general law of the dependence of deformation of highly elastic substances on temperature and frequency (time of action). 2. The results of measurements of various substances conform in a qualitative way to the scheme proposed. 3. With respect to mechanical losses, it is shown that application of the simple concept of relaxation makes it possible in many cases to explain the physical nature of the processes involved. 4. It is found that the relations characteristic of various relaxation processes, such as electrical and mechanical processes, are marked by a unity in their physical nature.
