Abstract

AbstractThis article reports the influence of oscillating pressure on the mechanical performance of general‐grade high‐density polyethylene (HDPE). The tensile strength of 93 MPa and the Young's modulus of 5 GPa were obtained by an oscillating packing technique. The great improvement of the mechanical properties of HDPE specimens is due to the existence of the shish‐kebab crystalline structure, the orientation of the molecular chains along the flow direction, and the more perfect crystallites. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
