Strain crystallization



 The introduction to this October 2006 provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject.
Please help improve the article with a good introductory style.

Strain crystallization is a phenomenon in which an initially amorphous solid material undergoes a phase transformation due to the application of strain. Strain crystallization occurs in natural rubber, and some other elastomers. The phenomenon has important effects on strength and fatigue properties.
