Temperature Effects on Tensile Properties
Figure 24 shows the effect of increasing ambient
temperature on the tensile strength of neat and glassreinforced
polysulfone. Figure 25 shows the same
information for tensile modulus.

Temperature Effects on Flexural Properties
The effect of temperature on the flexural strength of neat
and glass-reinforced polysulfone is shown in Figure 26.
The effect of temperature on flexural modulus is shown
in Figure 27.
