We present a simple method for fabricating hierarchical polymeric nanohairs using a multi-
branched anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template prepared by two-step anodization and …

A micromechanics-inspired constitutive model is developed to describe the deformation
behaviour of fibrillated material within crazes in glassy polymers subjected to cyclic loading …

Interfacial fibrilation is a typical mechanism that frequently occurs during delamination of a
polymer coating from a steel substrate. It involves large displacements at the interface as …

We study with molecular dynamics simulations of a generic bead–spring model the cyclic
crazing behavior of glassy polymers. The aim is to elucidate the mechanical response of …

Delamination analysis in advanced composites is required for the laminate design phase
and also during the operation of composite aerospace structures to estimate the criticality of …

In many glassy amorphous polymers, localisation of deformation during loading leads to
crazes. Crazes are crack like features whose faces are bridged either by fibrils or a cellular …

The fracture behavior of rubber-toughened polymers is governed by two dissipative
microscopic deformation and damage mechanisms: matrix shear yielding and crazing …

Polypropylene (PP) samples were exposed to accelerated aging with UV-C light and
showed a morphology inside the crackings like that of thermoplastic polymers under stress …

Copper–rubber interfaces show extensive rubber fibrillation at the micro-scale during
delamination. This constitutes a major problem for identifying unambiguous interface …

The architectural modifications of a linear poly (D, L-Lactide) acid (PD, L-LA) commercial
grade were induced by a one-step reactive extrusion–calendering process using a styrene …
