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.
