Abstract
Several flexible chain polymers of ultrahigh molecular weights (UHMW) have been uniaxially drawn from different morphologies by three techniques, including solid-state extrusion, tensile drawing, and their sequential combination (two-stage drawing). Among these, solution-grown single crystal (SGC) mats of UHMW-polyethylene, polypropylene, and poly(4-methyl-1-pentene) have been superdrawn, by two-stage drawing, to the limits in terms of mechanical and physical properties approaching theoretical limits. The morphlogies of such samples have been studied by density, DSC melting behavior, X-ray small- and wide-angle diffraction, thermal expansivity, etc. The results showed a significant difference in the microstructure between UHMW-PE and UHMW-PP superdrawn to the limits.
