Status report on torsion-pendulum tests of the mechanical loss and shear modulus of polypropylene, dyeable polypropylene, polypropylene filled with 10, 20 or 30% chrysotile asbestos, and nylon 66, studied as measures of carpet resiliency. It reports that the asbestos filler had little effect on mechanical loss, that moderate annealing improved the filled polymer, and that long annealing degraded it. Includes 27 figures and a distribution list.
