Abstract

The study is focused on the effect of strain rate, temperature and stretch ratio on the room temperature mechanical properties of PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) following biaxial deformation. Specimens were biaxially stretched within a temperature range 80-110°C, a strain rate in the range 1-16/s and stretch ratio in the range 1-2.8. The tensile moduli of the stretched specimens were obtained using tensile testing. Results show that post-stretching room temperature modulus increases with decreasing temperature, increasing strain rate, and stretch ratio.
