✦ Synopsis

Adhesion properties between branched polyethylene (PE) and isotactic polypropylene (PP) were studied by a peel test and scanning electron microscopy. In this study, two types of branched PEs were used; one is a linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) and the other is a high pressure low density polyethylene (LDPE). The adhesive strength of the LLDPE/PP is much higher than that of LDPE/PP. Furthermore, the formation of PE influxes between PP spherulites has a small effect on the adhesion. The dynamic viscoelastic measurements for the binary blends composed of branched PE and PP were also carried out to estimate the interfacial tension by using a rheological emulsion model proposed by Palierne. The interfacial tension is 1.0 mN for LLDPE/PP and 2.1 mN for LDPE/PP, suggesting that the interfacial thickness of LLDPE/PP is about twice that of LDPE/PP. The adhesive strength between branched PE and PP will be determined by the interfacial thickness, which represents the entanglements between two polymers.

To enhance the thermal properties of ultrahigh molecular weight (UHMW) (viscosity-average molecular weight of 6 1 10 6 ) polyethylene (PE) gel film, this was crosslinked by dicumyl peroxide (DCP) during a high-temperature zone drawing, which is effective to orient film. Through a series of experimen
