| Research Abstract |
A rheo-optical study has been developed to examine the nature of the structural changes, using the near-infrared spectroscopy. In this work, we investigated the strain (ε) dependence of structural changes of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) and polyethylene (PE) materials during uniaxially stretching using a rheo-optical technique ; in which the near-infrared spectra and tensile stress were simultaneously measured as a function of elongation time. It was found that the absorption coefficients of near-infrared spectra had a minimum at yield point and then reached a maximum at around the neck initiation, indicating that the main-chain motion is restricted by stretching up to the yield point. The yield point could represent the onset of the release of the molecular motion.
