Polymer molecular weight and polymer orientation affect the rates of relaxation{l8,23). The objective of this study, therefore, was to determine the effect of molecular weight and subtle changes in orientation on the rate of solvent crazing of polystyrene by normal pentane. In 1963 Rudd(18) measured the rate of relaxation of polystyrene samples of molecular weight 100,000 to 300,000 exposed to butanol at unit activity under an initial stress of 1000 psi. Relaxation rates dropped by a factor of 106 with increasing molecular weight over this rather narrow range of molecular weights which was related to greater hindrance to chain uncoiling and viscous flow in the higher molecular weight samples.
