In Situ Study of Strain-Dependent Ion Conductivity of Stretchable Polyethylene Oxide Electrolyte.
TL;DR: Investigation of the effects of tensile strain on the ion conductivity of thin-film polyethylene oxide (PEO) through an in situ study reveals critical insights on the microstructural transformation of stretched PEO and the potential consequences on ionic conductivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphological and physical property effects for solvent cast films of poly‐2, 5(6) benzimidazole
TL;DR: A polybenzimidazole having the structural repeat unit was formed into films by casting or precipitating from dilute solutions and selected films were swollen in a plasticizing medium arid drawn about 2X as discussed by the authors.

The Determination of the Elastic Field of an Ellipsoidal Inclusion, and Related Problems
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that to answer several questions of physical or engineering interest, it is necessary to know only the relatively simple elastic field inside the ellipsoid.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Phenomena of Rupture and Flow in Solids
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of surface scratches on the mechanical strength of solids, and some general conclusions were reached which appear to have a direct bearing on the problem of rupture, from an engineering standpoint, and also on the larger question of the nature of intermolecular cohesion.
