โฆ Synopsis
Abstract
The influence of the flow history experienced during injection molding on the mechanical properties of amorphous polymers is investigated. It is demonstrated that flowโinduced molecular orientation only causes a small anisotropic effect on the yield stress, which can be regarded as insignificant with respect to its absolute value. Its influence on the postโyield strainโhardening response is also shown to be imperceptible, in contrast to a orientation which is applied during deformation below the glas transition.
