Abstract

High pressure polyethylene films (PE) have been modified by graft polymerization of acrylonitrile and vinylidenechloride and have then been subjected to orientational drawing at temperatures exceeding the melting point of PE and the glass transition temperatures of the grafted polymers. Under these conditions, oriented structures are found in PE and the grafted polymers: these form a “framework” which prevents the relaxation of the oriented PE structures and the reversion of the drawn specimens when heated in the free condition above the melting point of PE. The additive contributions of PE and the grafted structures of polyacrylonitrile and polyvinylidenechloride towards the strength and pliability of the films cause special features in the mechanical properties.
