    Notes: Abstract Branched polyethylene irradiated (0–400 Mrad) with a Co60 source at room temperature under vacuum was studied by density, wide- and small-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS and SAXS) measurements. The radiation effects on the structure of bulk, branched polyethylene are quite similar to those observed by others on single crystals or oriented preparations. These effects include changes in bulk densityϱ, crystallinity(w c orv c) and¯d 100 and¯d 200 spacings as a function of irradiation. A decrease in crystallinity is seen to begin at radiation dose ≈100 Mrad whereas lattice expansion indicating onset of an orthorhombic-hexagonal transition can begin as low as 10 Mrads. The decrease in crystallinity can be attributed to additional lattice distortions primarily introduced by the crosslinks occurring at the lateral grain boundaries, while lattice expansion can be associated with the same crosslinking mechanism which begins at the defects both within the crystals as well as those outside the crystals at the lateral grain boundaries. Strong evidence for a primary crosslinking-at-the-defects mechanism has also come fromϱ c andϱ a data obtained in this study as a function of radiation dose. The same data have also led to an excellent correspondence between the measured density crystallinityv c and the measured WAXS crystallinityw c. Without consideration of the effects of crosslinks onϱ c andϱ a one would have obtained a divergence of the two crystallinities, especially at radiation doses greater than 100 Mrads.

    Notes: Abstract A theory of strain-crystallization of random networks comprised of stereoregular chains is developed. The crosslinks are assumed to be expelled from crystal cores. For this reason, the rubber is considered to be represented as a random eutectoid copolymer, the thermodynamics of strain crystallisation of which is described by the use of the van der Waals model of networks. The strain dependence of the maximum melting temperatures, the degree of crystallinity and the average thickness of the crystallites calculated are shown to be in fair accord with experimental data.

    Notes: Abstract Small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) was used to determine the structural changes in polyethylene induced by radiation. The changes in densities of the crystalline and amorphous phases, ρ c and ρ a , were calculated after direct determination of the mean square density fluctuation 〈η2〉. ρ a increases with increasing radiation dose for both linear and branched polyethylene. This accounts for the serious discrepancy between crystallinities determined from wide-angle x-ray scattering and density measurements. This study confirms our previous proposal that crosslinks occur primarily in the noncrystalline phase, most likely at the defects in the lateral grain boundary regions.

    Notes: Abstract Small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) was used to determine density fluctuation in radiation-induced crosslinked polyethylene of varying degrees of crystallinity. Density fluctuation FL decreases with increasing crystallinity, while it increases linearly with increasing radiation dose or degree of crosslinking. By means of extrapolation, density fluctuations in the crystalline and the amorphous phasesFL c andFL a were obtained. At a given dose,FL a is greater thanFL c . The increase inFL a with radiation is found to be much greater than that ofFL c compared with the initial values at 0 Mrad,FL c showing only a negligible increase event at 312 Mrad. The present findings suggest that crosslinks are not introduced within the crystalline phase; they take place primarily in the noncrystalline phase, in agreement with the conclusions reached previously on the basis of changes in crystalline and amorphous densities in irradiated polyethylene.

    Notes: In an attempt to facilitate a better understanding of the role of noncrystallizable components on the crystallization kinetics, spherulitic growth rates as well as the morphology and melting behavior of isotactic polystyrene in blends with various molecular weight atactic polystyrenes (900 to 1,800,000) over a wide range of concentrations have been studied. The growth rates are uniformly depressed with increasing amounts of atactic diluent. In addition, they are dependent on the molecular weight of the added polystyrene, generally decreasing in the molecular weight ranges between 4800 and 19,800 and between 51,000 and 1,800,000. However, between these two ranges, anomalous growth rates showing a sudden increase are observed, which may be explained by an increase in the entrapment of the noncrystallizable diluent. An explanation based on morphological observations, which showed an increase in coarseness of the spherulites with increasing molecular weight of the added atactic polystyrene, is offered.

    Notes: In order critically to evaluate the previous morphological interpretations of stress relaxation during oriented crystallization, a reexamination was made of the relaxation behavior of the same oriented natural rubber material used for the x-ray investigation in Part II of this series. Our results were found to be in qualitative agreement with previously published reports. Comparison of stress-relaxation rates at low temperatures for samples with strains of 200% or more with crystallization rates at room temperature by others for similar elongations indicates a dual nature in the strain-induced crystallization process. This conclusion is in full agreement with the indication of dual crystalline morphologies, namely, fibrillar and lamellar, for both electron microscopy and x-ray investigations on highly stretched samples reported in Parts I and II. Examination of stress-relaxation data in light of morphological evidence for oriented crystallization indicates that caution must be exercised in attaching morphological significance to the Avrami exponent n obtained from stress-relaxation or crystallization data.
