Abstract The stressing of chain molecules, the resulting conformational changes, the limiting phenomena (slip and chain scission) and their effect on ultimate sample properties are studied in this paper. It is pointed out that and how transitions from coiled to highly extended chain conformtions are obtained in liquid environment, in thermoplastic elastomers and in highly oriented fibers.
