Review reveals distinct morphological reorganization and voiding during polyethylene fracture, highlighting the influence of molecular structure on impact resistance.
Recent advances in the analysis of the fracture behavior of polyethylene have been reviewed specifically to establish the nature and extent of morphological changes. It has been shown that in the case of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), reorganization and orientation of lamellae occur in the shear lips region, the pattern being influenced by differences in molecular structure. Crazes, on the other hand, are characterized by the presence of voiding, with no significant effect on the original morphology.
