Abstract
The uniaxial deformation and recovery of primarily amorphous poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) has been investigated by simultaneous FTIR spectroscopy and stress-strain measurements. Contrary to annealed, crystalline samples the stress-induced transformation of the polymer chains to a conformation deviating slightly from the planar all-trans crystalline β-form has been found almost irreversible.
