Abstract
The warping effect of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) articles produc ed by organic pigmentation has been studied by scanning electron micro scopy. A warping pigment and its warp-free analogue obtained by surfac e treatment have been observed and compared to an inorganic warp-free pigment. The results indicate that the generally accepted nucleation t heory is not sufficient to describe fully the warping effect. An attem pt is made to describe this effect in terms of pigment-polymer compati bility.
