Investigating the time- and space- dependent mechanical, physical and chemical properties of aged polyethylene gas pipes using nanoindentation tests
Macroscopic tensile tests are conventionally used to obtain mechanical properties of aged polyethylene (PE) gas pipes, but cannot characterize the inhomogeneous aging behavior of the specimens caused by diffusion-limited oxidation (DLO). Nanoindentation test procedures have, therefore, been adopted...
