RHEO-OPTICS ON TWO CONTINENTS - AN EXAMPLE OF INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION IN SCIENCE.

Abstract

Rheo-optical techniques for the study of crystalline polymers, developed primarily in the United States and Japan, include dynamic birefringence, x-ray diffraction, dichroism, light scattering and fluorescence. These permit the characterization of the rates of orientation of crystals, amorphous regions, and crystalline superstructures. The application of these methods has permitted the formulation of a model for the deformation of crystalline polymers. (Author)
