Micromechanics of Thin Films of Elastomeric Polypropylene — •Martin Neumann1, Mechthild Franke1, Andreas Schoebel2, and Robert Magerle11Chemische Physik, TU Chemnitz, D-09107 Chemnitz — 2WACKER-Lehrstuhl für Makromolekulare Chemie, TU München, D-85747 Garching

We present a micro-tensile testing setup that allows imaging with scanning force microscopy (SFM) the deformations within the microstructure of approximately 1 μm thick polymer films. This allows correlating directly the micromechanical behavior of a polymeric specimen with its macroscopic stress-strain behavior. In elastomeric polypropylene, a semicrystalline polymer with only 12% crystallinity, we image the deformation behavior of individual crystalline lamellae upon straining and relaxation. Our data shows a large variety of phenomena: bending, kink formation and fragmentation of individual lamella, fixed branching angles between lamellae, as well as locally auxetic behavior of certain crystal complexes. The stress-strain behavior is viscoelastic with elastic moduli in the range between 0.2 to 2 MPa and two relaxation time constants of about 10 s and 300 s, similar as measured for macroscopic specimens.
