Semicrystalline polymers products usually adopt a crystallized form in their end-use
environment. These crystallized polymers undergo various deformations under different …

Cavitation‐induced stress whitening in semi‐crystalline polymers during stretching
significantly influences the physical properties of the materials. This review summarizes …

The double yield (DY) phenomenon observed in a wide variety of semi-crystalline polymers
(SCP) adds difficulties in the material characterization. In this paper, a constitutive model …

Given the structural hierarchy in semicrystalline polymers, there is a compelling need to
elucidate the mechanisms behind the instability of the interlamellar amorphous phase at the …

The effects of temperature on the nonlinear mechanical behaviors of hard-elastic isotactic
polypropylene films are systematically studied with in-situ ultrafast synchrotron radiation …

Using the newly developed positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) facility with a
high count rate up to 3000 cps, in situ PALS experiments were performed for the first time on …

Ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) has been processed by means of
sintering of a nascent powder. Particular attention was paid to the precompaction of the …

Structural variation and shutdown behavior of polypropylene separator for lithium-ion
batteries upon heating have been investigated via in-situ ultra-small angle X-ray scattering …

Semi-crystalline polymers are now extensively used in various applications such as aircrafts,
civilian structures, oil and gas platforms and electronics. They are, however, inherently …

Nascent powders of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) with different
molecular weights in the range 0.6< M v< 10.5 million g/mol have been processed by means …
