Abstract
Kevlar® 49 “pleating” has been monitored, via measurement of the corresponding light diffraction intensity while stressidg a single filament. The structure responds to stress by opening up, with most of the diffracted intensity disappearing at about 60% of the breaking stress. The pleating is restored upon relaxation.Keywords
