Abstract
This article provides a method to obtain high-hoop-strength high-densi ty polyethylene (HDPE) pipe by mandrel-rotating extrusion. With proper ly selected processing temperature, pressure, and mandrel-rotating spe ed, the hoop strength of 90 Mpa has been got. Differential scanning ca lorimetry and X-ray scattering found the great strength enhancement wa s owning to high degree of macromolecular orientation in circumferenti al direction and the shish-kebab structure.
