MECHANICAL PROPERTIES TESTING
|
The mechanical properties of a polymer determine the range of usefulness and the service that can be expected from the material. Mechanical properties testing provides information on strength, impact resistance, hardness and fracture toughness.
Testing for mechanical properties is performed under various conditions. These are:
|
|
Izod Impact Strength
kJ/m2
ISO 180
Notched and Unnotched Izod Impact tests are for measuring the materials resistance to impact.This impact test allows producers to compare the relative impact resistance under controlled laboratory conditions and, consequently, are used for material selection and to compare materials for general
