The crazing of polyphenylquinoxaline (PPQ-E) films during in situ stretchin
g has been observed by SEM. The crazing phenomena and craze morphology of P
PQ-E films were interpreted. The strain values at critical crazing and yiel
ding and the craze stability of PPQ-E samples depend on the thermal-dealing
condition for the samples. From the point of view of cohesional entangleme
nts and energy absorbed by samples, the experiment results were explained.
