Abstract

The depth of Vickers microindentations in high density, low density and linear low density polyethylenes has been studied by two wave interferometry. The evolution of the delayed depth recovery is explained in terms of the Burgers model of viscoelastic behaviour and the numerical parameters associated with the model are related to the crystallinity, elastic modulus and yield stress of the polyethylenes studied.
