The mechanical properties of glassy poly (methyl methacrylate) have been examined by means of constant strain-rate tests at differing strain-rates and temperatures. Both fast-cooled and slow-cooled samples have been examined in order to determine the effect the rate of cooling has upon the mechanical properties. The ß and α’ relaxations were revealed in the experimental results. The difference in mechanical properties of fast- and slow-cooled samples could not be satisfactorily explained by the theory of Rusch.
