The thermodynamics of deformation for thermoplastic polymers
The post-yielding behavior of some common thermoplastics was examined in uniaxial tension to determine if these materials were ideally plastic from a thermodynamic viewpoint. Various polyethylenes, poly(methyl methacrylate) and polycarbonate, polyarylate and polysulfone based on bisphenol A were stu...
