STRUCTURE-PROPERTY STUDIES IN THE DEFORMATION OF SEMI-CRYSTALLINE POLYMERS (CHAIN-EXTENDED POLYETHYLENE, NYLON, GEL, IODINE COMPLEX)

Drawing behavior of a high pressure crystallized chain-extended polyethylene in solid-state extrusion was studied. Because of the reduced trapped entanglements at the fold surfaces and interlamellar links in this morphology, there was insufficient continuity to provide stress transfer for effective...
