Evolution of Intercrystallite “Bridges” During Multi-Step Drawing of Gel-Spun Polyethylene Fibers

Structural rearrangements during oriented drawing of gel-spun ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers were studied by low-frequency Raman spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction at wide and small angles. A structural model for highly oriented UHMWPE fibers was proposed based on the resul...

Summary:Structural rearrangements during oriented drawing of gel-spun ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers were studied by low-frequency Raman spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction at wide and small angles. A structural model for highly oriented UHMWPE fibers was proposed based on the results.
