A study was made of yield and plastic flow in glassy polystyrene. A range of 12 linear atactic polystyrenes was studied: monodisperse, bimodal blends, and a polydisperse commercial sample. Mn varied between 66,000 and 490,000 g/mol. These were given... Read More about Plastic deformation of glassy polystyrene : a unified model of yield and the role of chain length.
