Sheet molding compound resins from soybean oil: thickening behavior ... by Lu, Jue; Wool, Richard P. / Polymer Engineering and Science In our previous articles [10-15], we have shown that the stress--strain nonlinearity of thermoplastics observed in the tensile creep can be viewed (at least partly) as a consequence of the strain-induced dilatation [1, 6, 9] that occurs in materials with the Poisson ratio v < 0.
