Abstract
Raman-microscopy has been used to analyse a series of high modulus polyethy lene fibres. The high degree of orientation within the material means that upon 90 degrees rotation of the samples and/or polarisation analyser, marke d variations in band intensities occur throughout the spectra. Measurements of the 1131:1064 cm(-1) band intensity ratio of the fibres are made and re lated to their Young's modulus. This relationship is useful in morphologica l studies of polyethylene fibres.
