Craze initiation in glassy polymers: Quantifying the influence of molecular orientation

A study has been made of crazing stress in oriented glassy polystyrene. The aim was to develop a methodology for prediction of crazing stress in glassy polymers with frozen-in molecular orientation. Oriented specimens of two grades of monodisperse polystyrene (PS) and one grade of polydisperse PS we...
