Notes:
Orientation and relaxation behavior in uniaxially stretched stereoregular polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) was investigated. When compared at a reference temperature T = Tg + constant, isotactic PMMA orients more readily and relaxes slightly faster than the conventional or syndiotactic polymers. Orientation relaxation of the different PMMAs can be reduced to a unique master curve, whatever the tacticity, when the results are compared at same monomeric friction coefficient. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
