Polyethylene's and polypropylenes are most studied polymers by different solid-state NMR
methods. Among various NMR methodologies used, time-domain proton NMR (TD-NMR) …

With a focus on structure-property relationships, this book describes how polymer
morphology affects properties and how scientists can modify them. The book covers …

Morphological and mechanical properties of semicrystalline polymers are strongly
influenced by flow-induced crystallization during processing. We perform extensive …

Ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) fibers were prepared by a
combination of melt-spinning and melt-drawing. An as-spun fiber without melt fracture was …

The morphology of unimodal and bimodal high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes during a
hydrostatic pressure test was studied in detail using 1 H solid-state NMR. Characterizing the …

The effect of blending a small amount of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) on molecular
entanglements during melt-drawing of ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) …

Blend films composed of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) and normal
molecular weight polyethylene (NMW-PE) with various ratios were prepared. Structural …

Crystalline homopolymers, including polyethylene (PE), which has the simplest architecture,
form a nanometer‐sized combination of crystalline and amorphous components, but their …

Abstract The effects of Strain Induced Crystallization and chain orientation on the
cooperativity evolution with temperature are studied on two polymers with similar molecular …

Ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) films having different molecular
weights (MWs) were melt-drawn at 150° C. The stress–strain curve for higher-MW film …
