DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-00904-3
Abstract: The strain-induced softening of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers (TPUs), known as the Mullins effect, arises from their multi-phase structure. We used the combination of small- and wide- angle X-ray scattering (SAXS/WAXS) during in situ repeated tensile… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1361-665x/abd839
Abstract: The filled elastomer materials exhibit obvious stress-softening phenomenon after initial stretching, which is called the Mullins effect. Since magnetorheological elastomers tend to work under a magnetic field, it will show a different magneto-induced Mullins effect… read more here.
