Summary

Our studies of ultra-highly oriented samples of polyethylene (PE) with a draw ratio up to 150 using the DSC technique have shown that polymer crystals likewise the crystals of other classes can melt at an equilibrium temperature within a zero melting range. The inter- and intramolecular stages of the melting process predicted theoretically by Flory have been confirmed experimentally.
