Abstract
The model for the craze controlled fracture process in polystyrene has been developed further by taking into consideration the micromorphology of the crazes in which the nucleation and propagation of cracks occurs. The micromorphology of crazes formed in thin films of polystyrene, some of which had fractured, has been characterized by means of transmission electron microscopy. The observed micromorphological detail has been shown to be consistent with the micromorphology of the fracture surfaces of bulk specimens. In particular, the slow and fast regions of crack propagation which result in distinctly different fracture surface morphologies have been shown to be associated with differences in micromorphology which occur along the length of a craze.
