Mechanical properties of methanol crazes in poly(methyl methacrylate)

Methanol crazes are grown from sharp cracks in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). The craze thickness profile is measured using a replica technique after the craze opening displacement profile of the growing craze has been measured with holographic interferometry. The craze strain profile is then computed from these data. The craze surface stress profile is determined by two methods: (1) from the uniaxial strain profile of regions adjacent to the craze as measured from the fringe spacing on the reconstructed hologram and (2) from the craze opening displacement profile using the Fourier transform method of Sneddon. From the surface stress and craze-strain profiles a true stress-strain curve for the craze fibrils has been constructed. The extrapolated fibril yield stress is in good agreement with the yield stress of bulk PMMA plasticized with methanol indicating that surface tension effects do not contribute importantly to craze fibril mechanical properties at room temperature. The craze strain increases from 0.4 near the craze tip to 1.4 near the craze base implying that methanol crazes in PMMA thicken by further straining of the existing craze fibrils and not by drawing new material into the craze from the craze surfaces. The primordial craze thickness, i.e., the original thickness of polymer which fibrillates to form the craze fibrils, is approximately 1 μm and is constant over most of the craze length. This thickness may be determined by diffusion of methanol normal to the craze surfaces in a process zone just behind the craze tip.
