Abstract

Iodine-sulphur eutectic has been impregnated into crazes in polystyrene and rubber-modified polystyrene to act as a reinforcing agent during microtomy. Craze filaments and holes are much larger than in sulphur-reinforced poly-(dimethyl phenylene oxide) crazes due to a physical aging process involving polymer flow. In polycarbonate crazes impregnated with sulphur similar effects are observed due to plasticization by the sulphur. Reinforcing impregnation and rubber-staining are complementary tools in studying crazing in rubber-modified polystyrene.
