Preparation of non-metals properties for data base

Abstract

The development of non-metallic material properties data bases is discussed. The data bases consist of the non-metallic material classes of adhesives, adhesive/sealants, plastics, and elastomers. A specifications data base was also developed to incorporate material specifications data as a supplement to the Elastomers Data Base. Examples of the forms used are provided to show the properties of the materials which appear in the data base.
