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.

The morphology of ultradrawn polyethylene. I. Nitric acid etching plus gel permeation chromatography
Journal ArticleDOI
Concerning the Negative Thermal Expansion for Extended Chain Polyethylene.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the thermal expansion coefficients on ultraoriented polyethylene fibers with a solid-state extrusion in an Instron Capillary Rheometer at 136°, 2100 atm.
