Simulation of Orientation Distribution Function for Biaxial Stretching of Poly (p-Phenylene Sulfide) Film Calculated with the Plastic Slip Model

Part II: Orientation Distribution Function of Each Crystal Plane in Biaxial Stretching of Poly (p-Phenylene Sulfide) Film

Abstract

We have evaluated the orientation distribution function for each crystal plane under biaxial stretching in poly (p-phenylene sulfide) films. The pole figure divice familiar in X-ray diffraction was used. These distribution functions were compared with a simulation of orientation in crystallites after biaxial stretching by assuming polycrystalline aggregations. We analyzed the mechanism of orientation for the strip biaxial stretching process in which the (100), ‹001› and {110}, ‹001› slip systems dominated in four types of slip system by applying the maximum plastic work principle.
