On the basis of known nonlinearity of intermolecular force fields, we discuss the interpretation of PVT (pressure, volume, and temperature) behavior, pressure-temperature superposition for polymers, and the relationship between yield stress and tensile modulus. For PVT behavior of polymers, our theo

The topography of the microscopic shear deformation zones (SDZ) in the glassy polymer PPO was studied by using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and was used to analyze the growth and breakdown of the SDZ. It was found that the local stress and strain are almost constant within the deformation zones but
The stress-strain behavior of glass bead-filled polystyrene, styrene-acrylonitrile, styrene-acrylonitrile-butadiene, and polyphenglene oxide composites is studied at various temperatures below their glass transition temperature. Earlier studies of beadfilled composites indicated that the addition of
The use of low molecular weight liquid rubber diluents in concentrations of ฯณ 1%, dispersed finely in the form of submicron-sized pools, had been demonstrated in the past by Gebizlioglu and colleagues (Macromolecules 1990, 23, 3968) to be an effective source of toughening of brittle glassy polystyre
