Proceedings of the TTCP-3 Critical Review: Techniques for the Characterization of Polymeric Materials. Held at the Army Materials and Mechanics Research Center, 6-8 July 76 at Watertown, Mass.

Abstract

The objective of this review is to evaluate the potential of new and/or improved techniques and combinations thereof in the prediction of field life of polymeric and composite materials in military hardware. Various types of spectroscopic methods, chemical separation techniques, and dielectric and thermal methods of analysis were used to determine mechanisms and rates of deterioration on these materials after prolonged exposure to various weather conditions.
