A 12-cm x 1-cm x 1-cm rectangular segment of a plasticizer-modified polycarbonate (CAS# 25037-45-0) has undergone compressional deformation along its main, longitudinal, axis, and its length decreased by 4.7%. Explain and support your answer A)If the compression modulus of this polycarbonate is 1.58 GPa, what is the value of the stress that caused this compression? B) How would you expect the value of the compressional deformation to change for an unmodified version of this polycarbonate.
