RISEffect of Molecular Structure on the Short-Term and Long-Term Mechanical Behavior of High-Density Polyethylene
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Environmental stress cracking (ESC) of polyethylene (PE) in structural applications can result in catastrophic failure without any visible warning. Polyethylene with excellent short-term mechanical strength can have poor ...
Chain Entanglements and Mechanical Behavior of High Density Polyethylene
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: It has long been suspected that physical chain entanglements in the amorphous phase affect the strain hardening behavior of polyethylene. The precise number of chain entanglements in solid ...
