Abstract:

Previously a static Multi-Modulus technique was described for the simultaneous determination of Youngs and bulk moduli on a single specimen of a polymeric material. Additional data have now been accumulated. These fit the same pattern as the early data and further substantiate the validity of the Multi-Modulus technique for measuring the fundamental elastic properties of polymers.
