Abstract

Dynamic mechanical measurements are reported on two polyethylene copolymers with different types of comonomers and well-characterized comonomer distributions. Measurements on both isotropic and oriented samples were undertaken over a wide frequency range. The mechanical anisotropy and activation energies of the α and β relaxations are consistent with the former relating to c-shear in the crystals, and the latter to interlamellar shear.
