Description
Summary:Bibliography: leaves 136-140. === This dissertation examines the drop weight impact behaviour and fracture of poly (propylene - ethylene) copolymers at cryogenic temperatures. A cryogenic temperature facility was incorporated into the existing instrumented drop weight impact tester to allow for variation of the impact test temperatures.
