Abstract Drawn crystalline polymers, fibers and films, exhibit a characteristic fibrous structure with the long and narrow microfibril as the basic element. The highly oriented microfibrils originating from the same stack of parallel lamellae of the starting material form the fibril which, as a rule, differs a little in drawing ratio from adjacent fibrils. As a consequence of this variation and the location of the ends of microfibrils on the outer boundary of the fibril, this is the area of reduced strength where the fracture phenomena start. The free ends of microfibrils are point vacancy defects of the microfibrillar superlattice which, under applied stress, open and form microcracks long before the sample fails. The radial crack propagation first breaks the microfibrils adjacent to the microcrack at the point vacancy and produces a great many radicals as a consequence of the rupture of tie molecules in at least one amorphous layer of each broken microfibril. Longitudinal crack propagation proceeds alon...
