Monoclinic Phase and Competition Between Transformation Modes in the Phase Transition Between Orthorhombic and Triclinic Phases of Crystalline Polyethylene
“…93 The less stable monoclinic and triclinic phases have been observed in samples subjected to mechanical stress. [92][93][94][95] The presence of the new crystalline phase in the cryomilled PE samples suggests that the mechanical stress induced during the cryomilling process was sufficient to induce a phase transformation between the orthorhombic, mono-and tri-clinic phases.…”

“…It is known that the monoclinic phase can be formed either under the action of shear stresses or under plastic tensile deformation [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 21 ]. The amount of the monoclinic phase formed during particle compression should depend on the presence in the particles of certain morphological formations (fibrils, lamellas, shish-kebabs) and their orientation with respect to the compressive force.…”
Nowadays, a solvent-free method for production of high performance fibers directly from ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) reactor powder is being actively developed. It causes the interest in the morphology of the reactor particles and their behavior in thermal and mechanical fields. Changes in the phase composition in virgin particles of ultra-high molecular-weight polyethylene reactor powders and in particles of powders compressed at room temperature under different pressures were studied in real time using synchrotron radiation with heating in the range of 300–370 K. It was found that the content of the monoclinic phase in reactor powders depends on the type of catalyst used for synthesis and on the applied pressure. It is shown that there are monoclinic phases of different nature: a structurally stabilized monoclinic phase formed during synthesis, and a monoclinic phase resulting from plastic deformation during compaction at room temperature. The behavior of these phases in temperature and mechanical fields is compared.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
