Influence of Polymer Crystallinity and Morphology on Positron Annihilation Characteristics
نویسنده
چکیده
Some most representative results for semicrystalline polymers by positron annihilation spectroscopy method, showing the influence of crystallinity and morphology of samples on positron annihilation characteristics, are reminded. The latest finding of the author’s experiment on modified polyamide 6 is presented. The latter reveals that the interfacial zone between a lamella and an amorphous region may influence the ortho-positronium characteristics. The role of chain defects is stressed.

In this work, the compatibility and crystallinity of low density polyethylene (LDPE) and polybutene-1 (PB-1) blends were studied. Various blends of LDPE/PB-1 containing 5, 10 and 20 wt.% PB-1 were prepared in a corotating twin-screw extruder and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), shear oscillation rheology and wide-angle X-ray diffractometry (WAXD). A matrix-droplet morphology...
