## Abstract Ultraβhigh molecular weight polyethylene films prepared by melt flow crystallization under torsional flow conditions were characterized by wide angle (WAXS) and small angle (SAXS) diffraction techniques and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The films had a fibrillar morphology in whic
The nascent morphology of UHMW PE exhibits high melting point, high crystallinity, and increased WAXS line breadth relative to samples formed by melt crystallization. Different empirical relationships between crystal size and melting point are observed for nascent and molded samples. This differenti
