A self-consistent model for the deformation and phase transformation behavior of Poly (ethylene terephthalate) above the glass transition temperature.

摘要

Semicrystalline fibers and films of Poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) are often produced by application of high strains at temperatures above the glass transition. The stretching process generates a molecular orientation which, in turn, can result in strain-induced crystallization.
