Abstract
Dynamic methods for measuring the elastic and dissipative properties of high polymers in fiber and film form over four decades of frequency (3 to 30,000 cycles per second) are described. The experimental quantities resulting from the three different techniques necessary to cover this range are unified by deriving in each case the parameters of an equivalent Voigt Model (elastic and viscous element in parallel) which would behave in the same way as the polymer sample. Examples of the application of these techniques to the characterization of high polymers are given. The effect of frequency and chemical and physical structure on the derived parameters are discussed, along with the question of heat losses resulting from cyclical differential deformation. In addition, the application of two of the methods to the characterization of the stiffness‐temperature behavior of high polymers is described.
