The roles of blending and of molecular weight distribution on craze initiation

Craze initiation stress was measured in three-point bending isochronal creep tests on a series of entangled bimodal blends of polystyrenes of narrow dispersity, on three polystyrenes of broad dispersity, and on four blends of polystyrenes of broad dispersity. Crazing stress was found to increase rap...
