{wiki=Fracture_in_polymers}
Fracture in polymers refers to the phenomenon where a polymer material breaks or fails under stress or external forces. This breakdown can occur in several forms, often influenced by the type of polymer, its molecular structure, and the environmental conditions. Here are some key points to understand about fracture in polymers: 1. **Types of Fracture**: - **Ductile Fracture**: This type of fracture occurs in materials that can undergo significant plastic deformation before breaking.
