Notizen:
Some polymer networks show an anomalous increase in the modulus or reduced stress at very high elongations. This behavior has now been investigated definitively by determining stress-strain isotherms for both crystallizable and noncrystallizable networks, prepared using several curing techniques (carried out so as to yield a wide range in degree of cross-linking). The networks were studied unfilled at a number of temperatures, and at several degrees of swelling. The results clearly implicate strain-induced crystallization as the origin of the upturn in the modulus, and thus demonstrate that the wide spread interpretation of this upturn in terms of limited chain extensibility is incorrect.
