Since a polymer material has many advantages to order materials such as easy workability and light in weight, more research and development of the material is required. However, the report of the craze occurrence and the growth in the problem of the strength concerning the state of deterioration of the polycarbonate and the state under an environmental influence load is very scarce. In this study, polycarbonate was adopted as a polymer material and ethanol as an environmental chemical. A photoelastic analysis was conducted in order to observe how the environmental chemicals affect the craze and a crack development.
