>Project title: The impact behaviour of polymers
=================================================
>Project summary: There is a widespread use of polymers as both structural
>and protective materials, and as a consequence there is a need for accurate
>information on the mechanical properties of these materials over a wide
>range of strain rate and temperature. The project will involve a detailed
>investigation of the properties of engineering polymers (HDPE, Nylon, PEEK
>and others) over a strain rate range of 0.001 to above 10,000 per second,
>and a temperature range from below to above room temperature. The project
>will contribute to a deeper understanding of how the macroscopic behaviour
>of the polymers is related to their microscopic structure.
