Optical Interferometry on Crazes in Solvent Vapours at Very Low Pressure in Polymethylmethacrylate.
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 February 2011
Abstract
The fracture toughness and the craze shape of a propagating single crack/craze in polymethylmethacrylate has been measured in a very low pressure toluene gas environment by means of optical interferometry. Below a velocity of 0.01 mm/s the craze size increases up to 4 times the craze size in air, whereas the fracture toughness remains identical to the toughness in air. Above 0.01 mm/s the crack/craze behaves like a crack/craze in air.
