Notes:
The Young's moduli of samples of poly(vinyl chloride) containing either no plasticizer or 5 pph of dioctyl sebacate were drawn uniaxially at 80°C to draw ratios, λ, in the range 1-3.3. The moduli, determined by a three-point bending method were found to increase monotonically with λ to a value of 6.3 GPa for the nonplasticized samples and to reach a maximum value of about 4.5 GPa for the plasticized samples above λ = 2.3, which showed voiding. The lower moduli of the plasticized samples for a given degree of orientation, as assessed from birefringence measurements, can be attributed to the diluent effect of the plasticizer on the load-bearing chains. The Raman measurements suggest that the crystallites probably orient rather like rigid rods in an affinely deforming matrix, with some relaxation.
