Roles of chain length, chain architecture, and time in the initiation of visible crazes in polystyrene
Visible craze initiation stress has been measured for a wide range of linear and branched monodisperse polystyrenes (PS) soaked in diethylene glycol. Results show that, for a given time under stress, craze initiation in linear PS is disentanglement-dominated below a critical molar mass and chain sci...
