Abstract
Mechanical behavior in tension and fracture toughness of cross-linked PVC foams have been characterized. Young’s modulus, yield strength and fracture toughness data were compared to micro-structural relations derived for open and closed-cell foams. The failure process and stress strain response were indicative of brittle material behavior.
