Abstract

Several grades of ABS polymer have been tested in uniaxial tension over a temperature range from 293 K (20° C) to 198 K (−80° C). Effects of strain-rate and temperature on the yield stress have been explored and the magnitude of the activation volumes and activation energies derived. Additionally, the volume strain and the longitudinal strain have been monitored simultaneously, from which data the contribution of crazing to the total deformation of the specimens has been obtained.
