Abstract

FT-IR spectra of UHMW-PE tapes with different moduli have been studied in dependence of mechanical deformation and stress. Small spectral variations have been revealed in the difference spectra. Band shifts of the 730/720 cm−1 doublet have been observed under stress relaxation and upon stretching. A clear correlation between the shift of crystalline bands and the Young's modulus could be determined. Polarized measurements demonstrated variations in the mechanical response of nearly perfectly oriented and non-oriented crystallites. Crosslinking was performed by blending the polyethylene with 10% polysilane and UV-irradiation of the drawn material. The band shift increases as the linkage between oriented crystal blocks is improved with higher draw ratios and chemical crosslinking.
