Crystallographic textures
To material scientists the term texture means the crystallographic orientation of grains in a polycrystal. In contrast, geologists use the term more generally to refer to the spatial arrangement or association of mineral grains in a rock. In this contribution we are concerned with the materials science definition. There are several established techniques available for the determination of cryst...
متن کاملGrafting of Acrylamide to Low Density Polyethylene During Melt Processing
Acrylamide was grafted in low density polyethylene during melt processing in the presence of a free radical initiator using a torque rheometer in a closed system. Effects of processing time, acrylamide and benzoyl peroxide concentrations were studied. FTIR studies revealed that the degree of grafting increased by an increase in acrylamide concentration. Maximum grafting was obtained at 7 mi...
متن کاملOn the Optical Properties of Blown and Cast Polyethylene Films: Surface Versus Bulk Structural Considerations
In this paper we report on some surprising, and we believe new, findings regarding the factors affecting the optical properties (haze) of polyethylene (PE) blown and cast films. A comprehensive investigation of blown and cast films made from conventional Ziegler-Natta catalyzed linear low density PE (LLDPE) as well as metallocene-catalyzed LLDPE (mLLDPE) resins was conducted. The large majority...
متن کاملMorphological changes during annealing of polyethylene nanocrystals.
Polymer crystals are metastable and exhibit morphological changes when being annealed. To observe morphological changes on molecular scales we started from small nanometer-sized crystals of highly folded long-chain polymers. Micron-sized stripes consisting of monolayers or stacks of several layers of flat-on oriented polyethylene nanocrystals were generated via evaporative dewetting from an aqu...
متن کاملPolymer Processing: using synchrotron radiation to follow structure development in commercial and novel polymer materials
Exploring the macro and micro-structure development associated with crystallization in polymer materials such as polyethylene and polypropylene can be achieved using Small-and Wide-Angle X-ray Scattering techniques (SAXS/WAXS). Here, SAXS probes the long range ordering or macrostructure and WAXS gives information on the atomic level of ordering (microstructure). Following structure development ...
