Abstract
The recognition that molecular orientation can produce important enhancement in the mechanical properties of polymers has long been appreciated, so it is perhaps surprising to find that detailed studies of the total mechanical anisotropy are comparatively rare. This is still true, in spite of the emergence of methods for preparing very highly oriented polymers whose Young’s moduli approach those of glass or metals, and are close to the stiffnesses predicted for completely aligned extended polymer chains. In fact, the study of mechanical anisotropy in oriented polymers can often provide more precise information on the origin of mechanical behaviour in polymers in terms of structural and molecular factors.
