The changes in structure and physical properties of polymeric materials that exploited in a long time with complex mechanical loads used in pipe systems for high-pressure cold water have been studied. A significant reduction in the mechanical properties of polymeric materials has been established. The most typical structural defects that occur in polymer materials during manufacture and in the exploitations, using electron microscopic studies identified.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
