Abstract
The high-pressure crystallized poly(ethylene terephthalate) samples were in vestigated with scanning electron microscopy. The striation appearance, whi ch is the most common feature of polymer extended-chain crystals, was clear ly observed. Poly(ethylene terephthalate) extended-chain crystals with thic kness np to 17 m were obtained at high pressure. Fibrous crystals were also formed at high pressure. The fracture behaviors, which affected the exposu re of the striations, were also discussed. (C) 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
