Abstract
The influence of tensile deformation on gel-spun and hor-drawn ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers has been investigated. In high modulus polyethylene fibers no deformation energy is used to break chemical bonds during deformation, and flow is predominantly present next to elastic behavior. Flow is reversible after tensile deformation to small strains, but becomes irreversible when yielding occurs.
