Organic Polymer Characterization.

Abstract

This report attempts to define those properties of organic polymers that are critical to their use in current and advanced structural applications. It discusses and evaluates the characterization methodology that is available to measure and control those properties. It suggests some specific areas in which this technology can be employed to achieve improved performance and reliability through its application to procurement and quality control procedures. Case studies are presented to illustrate the utilization of characterization. Conclusions and recommendations are presented. A list of more than a hundred useful methods of characterization with Committee commentary on use and limitations is given in an appendix. (Author)
