Quantifying Rate- and Temperature-Dependent Molecular Damage in Elastomer Fracture

Physical Review X, vol. 10

Abstract

Experiments with mechano-fluorescent molecules reveal that the number of broken bonds needed to grow a crack in rubbery elastomers depends strongly on molecular friction, which could aid the design of fracture-resistant materials.
