From mechanics to thermodynamics: A relation between the brittleness and the thermal expansivity for polymers
The isobaric thermal expansivity is an underestimated property. The entire composite structures disintegrate into pieces on heating – without the use of any mechanical force -when the constituents have significantly different expansivities. While one typically tries to relate mechanical properties a...
