Orientation stretch and the strength of crystallizable polymers

  • Published:
Polymer Mechanics Aims and scope

Abstract

Changes in the orientation of molecules present in the amorphous and crystalline phases during orientation stretching of polymers are considered, as well as connections between these processes and the mechanical strength of solid oriented specimens. The studies were conducted on films of crystallizable polymers — polyvinyl alcohol and polyethylene. In explaining the dependence of the strength of specimens of these polymers on molecular orientation, the polymers are considered as three-component compositions.
