Abstract

The distribution and micromorphology of crazes in deformed bulk and solvent cast thin films of ABS and HIPS have been characterized. A good correlation was shown to exist between the deformation structure in the two types of specimen. Some characteristic features of the micromorphology of the deformed matrix and rubber inclusions which are apparent in the permanently strained cast films are described, and some simple electron microscope studies with strained cast films which could lead to further insight of toughening mechanisms in rubber-modified polymers are proposed.
