Page 128 - The incident radiation is reflected at the interface when the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle. The radiation penetrates a short depth into the interface before complete reflection occurs.
Page 181 - ... elasticity is desirable, a high ultimate elongation may be an asset. For rigid parts, on the other hand, there is little benefit in the fact that they can be stretched extremely long. There is great benefit in moderate elongation, however, since this quality permits absorbing rapid impact and shock. Thus the total area under a stress-strain curve is indicative of overall toughness. A material of very high tensile strength and little elongation would be brittle.

Page 10 - Dear Colleague, Leave the concept of large molecules well alone . . . there can be no such thing as a macromolecule. It is saidt that this advice was given to Hermann Staudinger just 45 years ago, after a major lecture devoted to his evidence in favor of the macromolecular concept . Today it seems almost impossible that this violent opposition to the idea of the existence of polymer molecules could...

Specimen supports are placed 4 in. apart in the bath and a load of 66 or 264 psi is placed on the center of the specimen. The temperature of the bath is raised at a specified rate and the temperature at which the specimen deflects 0.010 in. is reported as deflection temperature at 66 or 264 psi fiber stress. The...
