Abstract

The stress-strain curves of mixtures of linear polyethylene and random ethylene-1-alkane copolymers have been studied. The molecular weights in each series were closely matched so that complications due to polydispersity and chain length differences were avoided. The pertinent variables were the composition, counit content, and crystallization mode. Comparison would be made of mixtures of the same molecular weight, depending on whether on whether or not cocrystallization took place. The characters of the stress-strain curves were found to be different for these two different situations. The small-deformation properties, such as the initial modulus and yield stress, were found to depend only the total core crystallinity irrespective of crystallization mode and composition
