Abstract
The deformation, yield and brittle fracture properties of an 84% trans-polychloroprene (Neoprene W) were determined at −180°C for samples prepared with a range of microstructures (including amorphous, row-nucleated and spherulitic morphologies) and a range of pre-orientations from 0 to 300%. Pre-orientation was carried out at room temperature and crystallisation, where required, at −5°C. The degree of crystallinity was low, in the region of 18%, and the crystalline morphology was monitored by thin film electron microscopy and by wide angle X-ray analysis.
