Polymer toughness and impact resistance
Abstract
This report is a review of the factors that influence the impact resistance of high polymers, with an emphasis on crystalline polymers. The phenomenology of polymeric fracture is examined, including brittle and ductile failure, and the ductile‐brittle transition temperature (DBTT). An in‐depth discussion of the effects of crystalline morphology follows, with special attention given to the influence of spherulite size, fillers, processing conditions, transitions/relaxations, and multilayer coextrusion. Next, rubber phase addition is considered, including mechanisms, morphology, rubber type and particle size, and test conditions. Finally, common impact test methods are surveyed, including pendulum, falling weight, tensile impact, and tensile elongation tests.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
