Notes:
The application of die-drawing to the production of highly oriented polymers is considered, ft is shown that a variety of useful products can be obtained including not only rod and multifilament, but also tube and filled polymer. The investigations under discussion include the processing of several grades of linear polyethylene, polypropylene homopolymer and co-polymer. In favorable cases, products of very high stiffness were obtained, reaching modulus values of 50 GPa for linear polyethylene and 20 GPa for polypropylene.
