Large Deformations in Oriented Polymer Glasses: Experimental Study and a New Glass-Melt Constitutive Model
An experimental study was made of the effects of prior molecular orientation on large tensile deformations of polystyrene in the glassy state. A new hybrid glass-melt constitutive model is proposed for describing and understanding the results, achieved by parallel coupling of the ROLIEPOLY molecular...
