Ebook In-situ structure characterization of elastomers during deformation and fracture

Ebook "In-situ structure characterization of elastomers during deformation and fracture" offers novel insights into the time-dependent structural evolution of polymers under deformation. In-situ tensile experiments at high-brilliance synchrotron sources allowed to characterize the material with unrivaled resolution in time and space. The strain-induced crystallization in natural rubber was studied by wide-angle X-ray diffraction.
