Abstract
THE new technique of thermovision has been used to study deformation and fracture processes in polymers1,2. This technique provides a thermal image of the polymer surface, taken by means of natural infrared radiation in the wavelength range 2 to 6 µm. The method also allows an estimate to be made of the surface temperature of a polymer, although the value obtained may sometimes be low because of transparency in the polymer films.
