Journal ArticleDOI
Ultra-high-strength polyethylene filaments by solution spinning/drawing
Paul Smith,PJ Piet Lemstra +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of the draw ratio on the mechanical and thermal properties of polyethylene fibres was investigated, and it was found that the tensile strength tended to approach an upper limit at high draw ratios.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extrusion Polymerization: Catalyzed Synthesis of Crystalline Linear Polyethylene Nanofibers Within a Mesoporous Silica
TL;DR: Small-angle x-ray scattering analysis indicated that the polyethylene fibers consist predominantly of extended-chain crystals, indicating a potential utility of the honeycomb-like porous framework as an extruder for nanofabrication of polymeric materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
An approach to the formation and growth of new phases with application to polymer crystallization: effect of finite size, metastability, and Ostwald's rule of stages
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that a phase can appear and grow in a phase that is different from that in its state of ultimate stability, maintaining this in a metastable form when it may or may not transform into the ultimate stable state in the course of growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrahigh-strength polyethylene filaments by solution spinning and hot drawing
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe some preliminary results on alternative routes to produce high-strength and high-modulus polyethylene filaments with a uni-axial Young's modulus of 90 GPa and a tensile strength of 3 GPa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermotropic hexagonal phases in polymers: common features and classification.
TL;DR: In this article, columnar mesophases with hexagonal symmetry observed in polymers as flexible as polyethylene and poly(diethylsiloxane) are columnar liquid crystal.
