Mechanics of the static tension of a through chain in amorphous crystalline polymers

  • Published:
Polymer Mechanics Aims and scope

Abstract

The displacements and tensions of the points on a through chain lying inside one crystallite of an oriented amorphous crystalline polymer are analyzed theoretically for various degrees of withdrawal of the chain from the crystallite. The tension of the chain in the amorphous region is examined as a function of its contour length and the length of the amorphous region. The nature and efficiency of the stoppers (obstacles) retaining the through chain inside the crystallites are considered. Specific results are calculated for polyethylene and polypropylene.
