Abstract

The deformation properties of PVC have been studied under high pressure. Craze initiation and yield criteria have been proposed. The brittle-to-ductile transition was observed between 1×107 and 2×107 Pa, which is a relatively low transition pressure compared to polystyrene. Deformation in the post-yield region occurred by neck formation and subsequent drawing to produce chain orientation. When PVC was exposed to the pressure-transmitting fluid, silicon oil, a strong environmental stress cracking effect was observed.
