Crystallinity increases in semi crystalline polymers during high rate testing

During low rate deformation in tension semi-crystalline polymers can undergo a strain induced crystallisation during deformation which leads to increases in flow stress. This work extends studies of crystallinity in the polymers PEK, PEEK and PET to compression at high strain rates at a variety of t...
