Lecture

Polymer Plasticity: Yield Stress and Deformation Mechanisms

Description

This lecture delves into the plastic behavior of polymers, exploring concepts such as yield stress, deformation mechanisms, and the influence of temperature and molecular structure. It discusses the differences between thermoplastics and thermosets, the role of molecular chains sliding, and the formation of craze regions and microfibrils in ductile polymers.
