The properties of polyethylene crystallized under the orientation and pressure effects of a pressure capillary viscometer
John H. Southern,Roger S. Porter +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, high-density commercial polyethylenes have been crystallized under the combined orientation and pressure effects available in the Instron capillary rheometer, and the samples so formed were found to have a high degree of crystal perfection and crystal orientation in combination with the unusual property of transmitting visible light.

Journal ArticleDOI
Orientation and Structure of Polyethylene Crystallized under the Orientation and Pressure Effects of a Pressure Capillary Viscometer
TL;DR: In this paper, a commercial high-density polyethylene has been crystallized in the Instron Capillary Rheometer under the combined influence of pressure and orientation, and a transparent high-modulus, and highly oriented filament structure was produced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polymer modulus and morphology: The tensile properties of polyethylene
TL;DR: In this article, the general properties of a novel process for producing high modulus polyolefins are discussed, which is an extrusion drawing involving a crystal-crystal transformation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unique polyethylene morphologies produced under extrusion conditions
TL;DR: In this article, a large number of microfibers having a high degree of crystalline orientation parallel to the capillary axis are shown to be produced in high density polyethylene near its melting point under selective conditions of orientation and pressure existing in an Instron capillary extrusion rheometer.
