The aim of this work is to study the nano-scale deformation mechanisms within the spherulitic structure of semi-crystalline polymers. The deformation mechanisms are imaged by atomic force microscopy. The originality of this work is the use of a home-made tensile drawing stage under the AFM head in order to perform in situ tensile tests. The observations performed on several semi-crystalline polymers (polyamide 6, polybutene, polycaprolactone) revealed fragmentation of crystalline lamellae and micro-crazing. These mechanisms appear from the end of elastic stage, and induce permanent deformation and degradation of mechanical properties. These experimental observations enable assuming that there is a coupling between plasticity and damage. The...
