Abstract
The ESR method has been used to investigate the structure and properti es of highly drawn ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibres. Th e values of T-50G, rotational correlation times and the free radical d ecay curves for fibres of various draw ratios have been obtained from ESR spectra. The model of soft domain formation in fibres at high draw ratios is used to explain the experimental results.
