Abstract
The effect of N2 Ar, and He on the tensile stress-strain behavior of various polymers at about 78°K is presented. N2 and Ar cause crazing and modify the stress-strain curve, whereas He is inert, like a vacuum. A theory of the environmental effect is given which is based on the adsorption of N2 and Ar on polymers and on the fact that they undergo a large fractional decrease in their surface energy.
