Shish-kebab crystallites initiated by shear fracture in bulk polymers: 2. Crystallization on shearing

Y Nie, Y Zhao, G Matsuba, W Hu - Polymer, 2023 - Elsevier
Shish-kebab crystallites are initiated by the oriented precursors of the ordered structures in
the flow processing of polymer materials. In our previous work, we have proposed that the …

Molecular dynamics simulations of nucleation details in stretched polyethylene

Z Liu, Z Zhou, Y Ming, S Zhang, T Hao, Y Nie - Polymer, 2020 - Elsevier
Molecular dynamics simulations were performed to investigate the microscopic mechanism
of crystal nucleation in stretched polyethylene with different strains. The system consisted of …

Shear-induced precursors in polyethylene: An in-situ synchrotron radiation scanning X-ray microdiffraction study

F Su, Y Ji, L Meng, J Chang, L Chen, L Li - Polymer, 2018 - Elsevier
Localized shear flow was imposed by pulling glass fiber in polyethylene (PE) melt below
and above its equilibrium melting point (141.6° C). Immediately after the cessation of shear …
