Effect of deformation rate on the ductile-brittle transition behavior for polycarbonate (PC) with different molar mass, notch radius, and rubber content has been investigated. PC with higher molar mass, notch radius, or rubber-modification possesses a higher critical strain rate when the ductile-bri

✦ Synopsis
The effect of rate on the brittle-ductile transition of polymers can be given by an Arrheniustype equation with activation energy between those of 01 and p transitions and given by where Eb is the activation energy for brittle-ductile transition, E , is that for a transition, Ep is that for / 3 transition, Tg is the glass transition temperature, Tb is the brittle-ductile transition temperature at 0.1 min.-', T, is the 01 transition temperature at 1 cps, and TB is the 0 transition temperature at 1 cps. The plots of Tb versus the weight fraction (w) of comonomer are sigmoidal, with an inflection point at w = 0.5.

## Abstract The effect of incorporating phthalate, 1,8‐naphthalenedicarboxylate, and 1,8‐anthracenedicarboxylate structural units on the crystallization rate of PET are evaluated by isothermal and dynamic calorimetry. Although all of the comonomers retard crystallization, the 1,8‐naphthalene unit s
The effect of the morphology of polypropylene, as controlled by annealing, on the material's micro-mechanical response before and after irradiation is explored using simultaneous SAXS/tensile deformation experiments. Morphology moderates the effects of cross-linking and scission on the deformation b
