Improving the strength of polyethylene solids by simple controlling of the molecular weight distribution

We prepared model polyethylene (PE) samples that contain the controlled-amounts of the high-molecular-weight component by blending a monodispersed PE into a polydispersed PE, to elucidate the influence of the high-molecular-weight component of a polymer on its mechanical properties. The strength and...
