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

As one of the most promising new energy sources, the lithium-ion battery (LIB) and its
associated safety concerns have attracted great research interest. Herein, a comprehensive …

Building on the success of its predecessor with completely revised material and six new
chapters, the Handbook of Polypropylene and Polypropylene Composites, Second Edition …

Cavitation phenomenon is observed during deformation in many semicrystalline polymers
above their glass transition temperature. Numerous voids (cavities) both nanometer and …

A review is given of the structure of semi-crystalline polymers and the mechanisms of plastic
deformation in them. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is taken as the specific example …

This review is devoted to the advances in the modification of the strength and toughness of
semi-crystalline polymers. Past efforts to obtain ultra-strength polymeric fibers are discussed …

When polyethylene (PE) is deformed to large strains, the stress originates from both the
viscous forces associated with the plastic deformation of the crystallites by slip and …

Being composed of crystalline lamellae and entangled amorphous polymeric chains in
between, semicrystalline polymers always show a complicated deformation behavior under …

Polymer morphology is a young and rapidly growing branch of materials science. Primarily,
it is the study of order within macromolecular solids but, in a wider context, it also embraces …

Showcasing vital engineering applications to transient and dynamic pertubations of
macromolecular materials, structural recovery's role in mechanical responses in the glassy …
