The Interaction between Polymeric Structure, Deformation and Fracture

Chapter

Summary

The authors have recently been attempting to establish a connection between the molecular composition and the mechanical characterization of predominantly linear viscoelastic polymers in order to provide a means of directly assessing the impact of chemical structure upon engineering design. Preliminary examples using continuum mechanics and principles of three-dimensional stress analysis showed, for example, the interaction between chain stiffness and deformation and fracture. This morphological approach, utilizing an Interaction Matrix, will be reviewed in order to stimulate discussion. In addition, some possible connections between molecular structure and the specific characteristic fracture energy will be reported.
