Stress Heterogeneity Leading to Void Nucleation within Spherulites for Semi-Crystalline Polymers
Linking the microstructure to the mechanical properties is a key feature in the design and assessment of the durability of semi-crystalline polymers. This paper addresses the importance of a particular architecture inside spherulites. The use of the theoretical tools of continuum mechanics has been...
