Role of the Entangled Amorphous Network in Tensile Deformation of Semicrystalline Polymers
Abstract
Being composed of crystalline lamellae and entangled amorphous polymeric chains in between, semicrystalline polymers always show a complicated deformation behavior under tensile deformation. In recent years, the process of tensile deformation was found to exhibit several regimes: intralamellar slipping of crystalline blocks occurs at small deformation whereas a stress-induced crystalline block disaggregation-recrystallization process occurs at a strain larger than the yield strain. The strain at this transition point is related to the interplay between the amorphous entanglement density and the stability of crystal blocks. We report experimental evidence from true stress-strain experiments that support this argument. It is emphasized that tie molecules, which connect adjacent lamellae, are of lesser importance with respect to the deformational behavior.

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.
