Abstract
That there is a growing use of plastics in applications that require careful design is undeniable; that this growth rate is as high as desirable is questionable. A major barrier to more extensive use of plastics is the lack of confidence of end users in the reliability of polymers. This stems from the fact that accurate data on the service life of polymeric products exposed to different service environments are not usually available to aid materials selection and use.
