the rigid segments have formed fibers, the strength has been
increasing with the width of the fiber; hence there has been
a limit to the improvement of the strength. Moreover, it has
been found that a layer of rigid segments has isolated parts
of the material from each other; mechanical deformations
have occurred in one part first, then have moved to the
other part. In agreement with the concept of the chain
relaxation capability, the simulations have demonstrated
that low stresses can be accommodated by chain conformation
changes, while high ones cause catastrophic crack
propagation.
