THERMODYNAMICS OF DEFORMATION (CALORIMETRY, THERMOELASTICITY, STRESS-INDUCED CRYSTALLIZATION, RUBBER HEAT ENGINES)
The thermodynamics of uniaxial solid deformation was studied experimentally for a number of polymeric solids, including two polyurethane-urea elastomers, natural rubber, a thermoplastic elastomer and low density polyethylene. A deformation calorimeter was developed to measure the heat and work of un...
