K. Tashiro et al., MECHANICAL-PROPERTIES AND DEFORMATION MECHANISM OF POLYOXYMETHYLENE CHAIN IN THE CRYSTALLINE STATE, Polymer engineering and science, 34(4), 1994, pp. 308-317
The true crystallite modulus of polyoxymethylene (POM) was evaluated e
xperimentally and theoretically as a function of temperature. The mech
anical deformation mechanism of POM was lattice-dynamically predicted
and confirmed by measuring the stress-induced vibrational frequency sh
ifts of the infrared and Raman spectra, which were interpreted on the
basis of anharmonic potential field.
