Summary
The morphology and structure of gels produced by quenching semidilute solutions of high molecular weight polyethylene\((\bar M_w = 1.5 - 3.5 \cdot 10^6 )\) in decalin is discussed. The drawing behavior of the dried gel films at room temperature and at 130 °C and the structural features of films drawn to ratios as high as 130 were examined with various microscopic techniques and wide-angle X-ray scattering.
Zusammenfassung
Morphologie und Struktur von Gelen, hergestellt durch Abschreckung halbverdünnter Lösungen von Polyethylen mit hohem Mol-Gewicht\((\bar M_w = 1,5 - 3,5 \cdot 10^6 )\) in Decalin werden besprochen. Das Streckverhalten bei Raumtemperatur und bei 130 °C der trockenen Gelfilme und die Struktur-Eigenschaften von im Verhältnis bis 130:1 gestreckten Filme wurden unter Verwendung verschiedener Mikroskop-Techniken und der Weitwinkelstreuung von Röntgenstrahlen geprüft.
