Effect of Low Temperature (0 to -65 deg F) on the Properties of Plastics

Abstract

The effects of low temperature on the mechanical, electrical and thermal properties of plastics is discussed. Data are given where available at three temperatures; namely, low temperature, about -65 deg F, room temperature and around 160 deg F to permit complete evaluation. The material is presented by plastic family (in alphabetical order) and is divided into three parts: thermoplastics, thermosets and foams.
