Material properties of polymers

What is the current status of a material or product? What was the reason for an observed failure? How long will the product last from now? These questions are common and require a scientific methodology to answer. Independent on the methods sued there will be need for characterisation of material properties. Chemical, Physical and Mechanical analysis need to be measured to confirm status and quality.
