Abstract
10-fold hot stretched (80 °C) linear polyethylene (PE) was prepared for high precision AEG-Guinier-Jagodzinski camera by cutting into 0.1 mm thick slices. Now the line profiles of allhk0-reflections were clearly separated and analysed using the paracrystalline theory. The slices were first annealed at 120 °C and then irradiated under vacuum with 10, 100 and 300 Mrad ofCo 60. The lattice parameters increase remarkably in full agreement withKobayashi. The paracrystallineg-values increase mostly orthogonal to the (110) net planes and no microstrains are generated. The average size of the microparacrystallites increases at least until 100 Mrad. In connection with former experiments about the affine transformation of molten PE we conclude that the crosslinks are produced predominantly within the paracrystallites. A model is discussed.
