Microdeformation in Heterogeneous Polymers, Revealed by Electron Microscopy

Year: 2004

Type: article

Abstract: Recent investigations of the tensile fracture behaviour of representative glassy and semicrystalline impact‐resistant polymers are reviewed, with emphasis on the microdeformation behaviour as revealed by electron microscopy of sections from bulk specimens, where the crack‐tip damage zone has been embedded and/or stained under load, and on thin films deformed in situ. The insight that such techniques have provided into the toughening mechanisms is discussed.
