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

High density polyethylene (HDPE) can show viscoelastic-viscoplastic behaviors under
monotonic loads and a stress softening after reloading under cyclic ones. This sets a …

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 …

The structure-property relationship of the interlamellar amorphous phase in semicrystalline
polymers has been a fundamental yet controversial topic in polymer physics for several …

Synchrotron radiation micro-computed tomography (SR μCT) was employed to study the
cavitation phenomena upon cyclic tensile loading prior to and after thermal exposure of …

In this study, we investigated the morphology modification of m-aminobenzoic acid (m-ABA)
needle-like crystals using a spherulitic growth strategy to enhance their particle …

The correlation between the modulus of the interlamellar amorphous phase and the
microstructure of the crystalline component was studied. The experimental method involving …

Assessing the resistance of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) against earthquake-like loads
involves understanding the changes in structure and properties induced by oligo-cyclic …

The present contribution examines the ability of a constitutive model to capture polyethylene
response variation with crystallinity. The model considers the elastic-viscoplastic crystal …

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 …
