Abstract
This chapter discusses the physical properties of polymeric materials. The physical properties of polymeric materials are of major importance for some applications, especially those requiring outstanding optical properties or for dynamic applications requiring superior wear and coefficient of friction properties. The physical properties are used to calculate the product weight, which relates to manufacturing costs, injection molding machine melt capacity, and the product dimensional control. The chapter presents ASTM physical property for polymeric materials to improve the understanding of the test procedures, to illustrate the significance of the property values reported from these tests, and to allow comparison of the properties between the generic polymeric materials used for product applications. The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and ISO physical testing standards are relatively similar, but with a few exceptions. The chapter presents the differences between these two test procedures.
