Abstract
A stress induced change of phase in a single crystal of the polydiacetylene, TCDU, is observed wherein a change of electronic configuration of the polymer from a butatriene to an acetylenic electronic configuration is indicated. The stress induced phase is stable and is coexistent with the parent phase.
