A study of structure and properties of lightly cross-linked polyethylene, crystallized from the melt under uniaxially stretching
A lightly crosslinked sample when stretched in a molten state, transformation to crystalline state first takes place from the stretched molecular chains. It is observed that this mode of crystallization produces a very unique phase structure associated with many characteristic properties which are advantageous for practical use.
