Control over orientation is important for polystyrene (PS) films since it can affect brittleness in these materials. These authors discuss how the film morphology can be varied by orientation processing in amorphous bubble‐blown PS films and how it influences the properties and performance of the film. The Figure shows the film morphology resulting from straining along the transverse direction of the blown bubble.
