In situ WAXS dynamic study of strain induced crystallization kinetics of synthetic and natural rubber

The SIC kinetics is known to be fast (Mitchell and Meier 1968) however, the characteristic times of this process are in the range of the characteristic times of the loading of the material in usual applications (the frequency domain of mechanical loading for tires spreads over several decades). The problem is that such rapid SIC kinetics remains difficult to characterize.
