PEE as revealed by small-angle X-ray scattering

Deformation behavior of PEE as revealed by small-angle X-ray scattering 

The patterns from the relaxed samples are denoted, for instance, as = 4.7(8), where the first number represents the tensile set (ie., the residual plastic deformation), after straining to a tensile deformation, e, given by the number in brackets. 

The next figures display the results obtained with the homopolymers PET and PBT, the commercial PEE with PTMG as soft segments, the PBT/PEE 

The results are presented in the sequence defined by the increasing flexibility of the soft chain constituents of the materials studied, i.e., PET, PBT, PBT/PEE, PEE EM550, and PEE EM400. Such a presentation allows one to follow the effect of the chain flexibility on the relationship between macro- and
