Summary

The method of slowly rotating a fine gauze in a polymer solution has been found to produce both nucleation and growth facilities for shish kebab type crystals of polyethylene. When removed from the solution the shish kebabs form a finely dispersed network on the gauze suitable for direct observation in the electron microscope. Both hydrodynamic and morphological features of the experiment are examined.

Zusammenfassung

Rotation eines leichten Drahtgeflechts in einer Polymer-Lösung führt sowohl zur Keimbildung wie zum Wachstum von Polyäthylen-Kristallen vom Typ „shish kebab”. Die „shish kebabs” bilden ein fein verteiltes Netzwerk auf dem Gazegeflecht, das direkte Beobachtungen im Elektronenmikroskop erlaubt. Sowohl hydrodynamische als auch morphologische Aspekte des Experiments werden untersucht.
