Flexibility of Polymers Defined and Related to Dynamic Friction | Brostow | Journal of Materials Science Research | CCSEDOI: 10.5539/jmsr.v8n3p31 Abstract: We have quantitatively defined flexibility of polymers. Flexibility Y is not an inverse of the brittleness B, rather, the two equations are compared. The expression for flexibility includes the specific volume and the summation of the strengths of chemical bonds-a concept introduced by Linus Pauling. The flexibility is plotted as a function of dynamic friction, resulting in a representative single curve for polymers
