Abstract
The mechanisms which have been suggested to explain the deformation of crystalline polymers are reviewed. Emphasis has been placed upon the type of information that can be gained from experimental observations and on the extent to which those observations are consistent with suggested deformation mechanisms and current ideas on polymer structure and morphology.
