The plastic deformation behavior of isotactic polypropylene film is studied with in-situ Fourier transformation infrared microspectroscopic imaging
Spatial distributions of crystallinity and orientations are obtained in necking region, transition front and non-necking region
A low valley of crystallinity exists at TF, while both NNR and NR have crystallinities at a high plateau
The non-monotonic evolution of amorphous orientation from NR, TF to NNR further supports the occurrence of deformation-induced melting–recrystallization
The decrease of amorphous orientation behind TF is attributed to recrystallization
