Lecture

Polymer Aging and Degradation

Description

This lecture delves into the factors contributing to polymer aging and degradation, using case studies like the 'Arrhenius' model and 'pin-shell' electronic connectors to illustrate concepts such as viscoelastic relaxation, time-temperature equivalence, and the KAHR model. It explores the impact of temperature on polymer properties, the structural recovery process, and ways to reduce physical aging through material selection and cooling techniques.
