Abstract This paper serves to overcome an apparent contradiction in the literature on the subject of deformation of polyethylene with simple lamellar textures, in particular on the observation of strains which are larger than would follow from the accompanying changes in texture when deformation is carried out at elevated temperatures. It is shown that if both the strain and texture determination are carried out at the temperature of deformation (and not after cooling), previous contradictions are eliminated and all the observed effects can be explained by temperature-dependent structural processes known to take place from evidence without the need to invokead hoc assumptions regarding the structure.
