A constitutive model for soft semi-crystalline polymers undergoing intra-chain and inter-chain crystallization towards excellent strength
The semi-crystalline strategy has emerged as a sustainable and reversible route to reinforce soft polymers, yet their complex microstructure precludes accurate characterization by classical statistical-chain theories. In this work an extended deformable freely rotating chain (dFRC) model is proposed that explicitly dis...
