Summary Shish-kebabs are observed by scanning electron microscopy on fracture surfaces of a low molecular weight, high-density polyethylene treated by hot pxylene. The shish-kebabs observed originate from the fibrils of the fracture surface. It is suggested that the larger fibrils are partially dissolved and that the partially dissolved molecules recrystallize on cooling forming the lamellar-like structures of the shish-kebabs. The less developed fibrils of the fracture surface dissolve completely.
