SAXS studies of blends of high- and low-density polyethylene

Le résumé fourni par la source

It is shown that in blends of PE having different melting temperatures the morphology depends drastically on the cooling rate. In these heterogeneous PE, the correlation relationship L = r between the long period L of the solid state and the dimension of the coils r in the liquid state is observed only in rapidly quenched materials. In slowcooled materials the SAXS spectra are interpreted in terms of segregation of two types of PE, on a scale of the order of the dimension of the coils, the arrangement of the crystalline lamellae being paracrystalline and statistical.
