The evolution of crystalline structures during gel spinning of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers
Abstract
The Weissenberg number during gel spinning controls the crystalline morphology of the as spun UHMWPE fiber. The final drawn crystalline morphology strongly depends on the starting as-spun crystalline structure.
