Load-extension behavior of a biaxially balanced polypropylene film which has been prepared by the two-step biaxial stretching method is not always isotropic, i.e., the Young's modulus and the yield stress along the pp-axis (the first stretching direction) are smaller than those along the Ps axis (the restretching direction), while the tenacity and the ultimate elongation which relate to large deformation, do not differ according to the direction of the test.Such an anisotropy appears more remarkably on the thermal shrinkage. When a piece of biaxially balanced film is shrunk freely by raising progressively its temperature, the 1p, and lvS, the dimen sions along the pp and ps-directions respectively, recover along the restretching curve, which indicates the 1,P vs l, relation during the restretching, until the film is heated to the stretching temperature.On further heating above this temperature, the 1z,p and fps change reversely along the first stretching curve. Both the optical index and x-ray diffraction in reference to the pp axis orientation change correspondingly with this dimensional change.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
