“…Generally, it is believed that the deformation of the amorphous phase in a rubber-like state occurs according to three basic mechanisms [3,6]: interlamellar slips (shear) [17e19], interlamellar separation (change of distance between the adjacent lamellae) [17,19e22] and rotation of lamellae (rotation of stacks of lamellae) [19,23]. Activation of the above mentioned mechanisms of the amorphous phase deformation occur in different zones of spherulites, depending on the direction of applied tensile stress.…”

Abstract. The phenomenon of cavitation is observed in many semi-crystalline polymers during uniaxial stretching. The nano and micro size voids are formed inside the amorphous phase of polymer, usually beginning at yield. Cavitation happens when the strength of amorphous phase is lower than the strength of crystals. The process of plastic deformation and conditions at which polymers cavitate are discussed on the examples of polyethylene and polypropylene.
