Abstract

The thermal and mechanical behaviour was measured in the U. S.for a polyethylene that had been prepared and highly drawn in the U. S. S. R. The melting point and percent crystallinity were evaluated in this studies as a function of heating rate and recrystallization. The Young's modulus and tensile stress to break in the orientation direction were 4.1 and 0.15 GPa, respectively.The tensile strain to break was about 8%.

Résumé

On a effectué, aux Etats Unis, l'étude du comportement thermique et mécanique d'un polyéthylène préparé et fortement étiré en URSS. Le point de fusion et le pourcentage de cristallinité ont été évalués en fonction de la vitesse de chauffage et de la recristallisation. Lesvaleurs respectives du module d'Young et de la limite de rupture dans la direction d'orientation s'élèvent respectivement à 4.1 et 0.15 GPa. L'allongement à la rupture est d'environ 8%.

Zusammenfassung

Das thermische und mechanische Verhalten eines in der UdssR hergestellten und stark gezogenen Polyäthylens wurde in den U. S. A. gemessen. Schmelzpunkt und Prozentsatz der Kristallinität wurden als Funktion der Aufheizgeschwindigkeit und Rekristallisation in den Untersuchungen ausgewertet. Der Young-sche Modulus und die Zugspannung zum Reissen in der Orientierungsrichtung betrugen 4.1, bzw. 0.15 GPa. Die Dehnung bis zum Bruch betrug etwa 8 %.

Резюме

В США было проведено и зучение термическог о и механического повед ения полиэтилена, получен ного и высоко вытянут ого в СССР. Точка плавления и пло цент кристалличност и были оценены как функ ция скорости нагрева и рекристаллизации. Мо дуль. Янга и растягивающее усилие к разрыву в ориентационном напр авлении составляли соответственно 4.1 и 0.15 ГП а. Деформация растяже ния на разрыв составляла ок оло 8%.
