Polymer Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A study of shrinkage-stress and thermal recovery on strain-induced semi-crystalline poly(ethylene-terephthalate) (PET) films has been undertaken. The residual shrinkage ratio is discussed in term of molecular disorientation in the non-crystalline region which occurs by shrinkage process, according with a composite solid model in a series coupling.
