Journal ArticleDOI
Plastic Deformation of Crystalline Polymers: The Role of Cavitation and Crystal Plasticity
Andrzej Pawlak,Andrzej Galeski +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and density measurements in poly(methylene oxide) (POM), polypropylene (PP), polyamide 6 (PA 6), low-density polyethylenes (LDPEs), and ethylene−octene copolymer (EOC).
Journal ArticleDOI
Cavitation during deformation of semicrystalline polymers
TL;DR: In this article, the cavitation phenomenon is observed during deformation in many semicrystalline polymers above their glass transition temperature, which is observed only in tension, never during compression or shearing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation and properties of compatibilized LDPE/organo-modified montmorillonite nanocomposites
TL;DR: In this paper, a compatibilized nanocomposites based on low density polyethylene and organo-modified montmorillonite nanoclay (MMT-ODA) and maleic anhydride grafted polyethylenes as a compatiblizer were prepared by melt mixing and characterized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cavitation during Tensile Deformation of Polypropylene
Andrzej Pawlak,Andrzej Galeski +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the cavitation process of polypropylene was studied and it was shown that cavities appear in the center of a sample shortly before yielding, and with increasing deformation the cavities change their size, number, and orientation from elongated perpendicular to parallel to deformation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cavitation during tensile deformation of high-density polyethylene
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the cavitation process of high-density polyethylene during tensile deformation and found that the shape of voids is strictly connected with deformation of crystalline phase around them.
