Self-oscillating neck propagation of amorphous polybutylene succinate was studied. The neck propagated by regular neck front jumps at the stretching speeds from 0.05 to 1000 mm/min. Self-oscillations at extremely low stretching speeds contradicts to the theory of this phenomenon. The instability of the neck propagation was explained by the deformation softening of the polymer.
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.
