The temperature dependences of tear strength for the main Borealis polyethylene grades were studied. It is shown that along with the common areas where the strength decreases with temperature, there are temperature, regions where the temperature dependence is weakly expressed or there is a maximum tear resistance associated with orientational hardening, similar to the maximum in materials of PE-RT II type.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
