Abstract: | The effect of temperature, oils, and domestic washing agents on the lifetime of type 475-K high-impact polystyrene has been studied. An intermittent character of the temperature-time dependence of strength has been observed. It has been discovered that household fats and cleaning media significantly affect the strength characteristics of high-impact polystyrene; the greatest action is exterted by the simultaneous action of an oily medium, temperature, and stress.V.
