MOLECULAR STRUCTURE AND PHYSICAL BEHAVIOR OF POLYMERS
Abstract
Stress-temperature relations wer inve tig ted for linear polyet ylene, crosslink d to varying extents by gamma irradiation, and subjected o elo gation of varying amount. The incipient crystallization t mperature T sub c was foun to be reduced o ly slightly over th range of crosslinking employ d, in me sureme ts at small xt nsions. The application of moder te extensions brought about somewhat l rger increases in T sub c. T HE INCRE SE W S L RGER FOR THE MORE IGHLY CORSSLINKED MATERIALS, O THAT A REVERSAL OF THE T sub c values appeare to occur at exten ions of about 250%. Stress changes o cryst lliza ion under isother al conditio s was examined. Stress increases were observed, co fir ing that they ar not ue solely to therm l contraction.
