On the selection map shown below, moving a line of the correct gradient as far as possible to the top and the left (and hence maximising \(E\) and minimising ρ) will give materials with the best value of the merit index.

It emphasizes the significance of true stress-strain curves for understanding material performance during plastic deformation and explores concepts like yield stress, strain hardening, and energy absorption.

These properties tell a polymer scientist or engineer many of the things he or she needs to know when considering how a polymer can be used. How strong is the polymer? How much can you stretch it before it breaks? How stiff is it? How much does it bend when you push on it? Is it brittle? Does it break easily if you hit it hard? Is it hard or soft? Does it hold up well under repeated stress?

It discusses ionic, metallic, and covalent bonding effects on material behavior, particularly in elasticity and thermal expansion, notably in polymers and rubber.
