Mitchell, G.R. and Windle, A.H. (1985) The effect of annealing on the local structure of glassy polycarbonate. Colloid and Polymer Science, 263 (4). pp. 280-285. ISSN 1435-1536 doi: 10.1007/BF01412242
Abstract/Summary
Annealing of polycarbonate glasses at temperatures belowTg leads to an increase in yield stress and a drop in the impact strength. Although such behaviour may be related to the corresponding reduction in free volume upon annealing, variations in the wide-angle X-ray scattering curves indicate some modification to the local structure. The area of an intrachain peak at s ∼ 0.7 Å−1 is monitored with respect to annealing temperature and time. It is proposed that the variations may be described by an increasing level of interlocking or (nesting) between neighbouring chain segments, a process which is a natural consequence of the molecular shape of polycarbonate.
