Interpretations of Crack Surface Topologies for Poly(Vinyl Chloride)

Source

Craze and crack growth were described on Mode I subcritical crack surface topologies formed in unplasticized and plasticized polyvinyl chloride) (PVC). Types of deformations and material separations were noted. Topologies also were examined for the effects of suppressing the secondary β relaxation process, which is a molecular motion in the PVC polymer chain. A crack surface feature formed by catastrophic crack velocities was discussed.
