Although, it has been observed that
swelling non-solvents (theta solvents) are the most
potent stress cracking agents, since solvation of the
polymer with good solvents may result in gelation
or crystallization at the exposure site and prevent
stress cracking.4 Lastly, higher residual or applied
stresses imparted to the plastic component can
also expedite the time to stress cracking failure.
