Polymeric materials are susceptible to the chain re‐conformation, reorientation, slippage, and bond cleavage upon mechanical stimuli, which are likely to further grow into macro‐damages and eventually lead to the compromise or loss of materials performance. Therefore, it is of great academic importa...
