CRYSTALLINITY OF POLYETHYLENE AS STUDIED BY THERMOLUMINESCENCE
Journal Article
·
· J. Polymer Sci., Pt. B
Studies were made on the thermoluminescence of single polyethylene crystals, fused crystals, and bulk polyethylene granules irradiated with gamma rays at -190 deg C in air. It was concluded that the crystallinity of the specimens rather than the degree of branchlng, determines the relative importance of the alpha , BETA , and gamma peaks, since the degree of branching in the polymer chains is unaffected by fusing. It is also noted that the relative importance of the gamma and BETA peaks appears to change, indicating that the two peaks have somewhat different origins. (P.C.H.)
