These voids eventually grow larger with aligned polymer fibrils extending between them (Figure 1), which manifests as a series of fine cracks or “crazes” in a planar array normal to the stress.4,5 The crazes continue to propagate and eventually rupture, leading to cracking and further stress concentration that inevitably causes brittle failure.
