Abstract
A review is given of the structure of semi-crystalline polymers and th e mechanisms of plastic deformation in them. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is taken as the specific example because of the large number o f detailed studies performed on this material. The early findings are also compared and contrasted with very recent detailed large-strain de formation studies and computer simulations of deformation-induced text ure development in HDPE.
