The sub volumes A of volume VIII/6 form a series of data collections and handbooks covering properties of polymer solids and polymer melts. The present volume forms the third part of it and compiles concepts and data concerning thermomechanical, mechanical and fracture-mechanical properties of pure, filled and reinforced thermoplastics, thermo sets and high-performance composites.
