Polymer Structure and Deformation → Application: Selecting Polymers for Engineering Use

This learning path guides undergraduate engineering students through the fundamental concepts and models used to describe polymer viscoelasticity. Starting with the basics of polymer deformation and calculus, it progresses through the Maxwell, Kelvin-Voigt, and standard linear solid models, then applies these concepts to dynamic mechanical analysis and time-temperature superposition, culminating in a practical application to polymer selection.
