The effect of molecular architecture on the deformation behaviour of drawn bimodal polyethylene
The most common failure mode for polyolefin pipes is slow crack growth. A crack is preceded by a craze, a voided wedge of material bridged by highly deformed fibrils. Upon failure of the fibrils, the crack propagates. Both the tendency of the material to form voids and the strength of the fibril at...
