Abstract

Hard elastic polypropylene was investigated by x-ray scattering using synchrotron radiation and by performing stress strain measurements in different liquids. It was found that the long period increases with elongation up to λ≈1.3–1.4. Beyond this extension a change in the deformation behavior takes place. In the range from λ≈1.1 to λ≈1.3–1.4 the deformation measurements in the different liquids are in good agreement with the coil-strand-transition model. The proposed linear relationship between the deformation work and the elongation could be confirmed. The same holds for the surface energy. Moreover, the calculated ratio between the surface energy and the deformation work agrees with the measurements.
