ABSTRACT
X-ray diffraction data for crystalline and molten polyethylene are analyzed to yield radial distribution functions. Use of scattering factors for CH2 groups in the data reduction yields unambiguous, model-independent information on the relative positions of carbon atoms. Direct comparison of the atom pair distribution functions rules out extended chain structures in the melt.

    We present the derivation of coarse-grained force fields for two types of polymers, polyethylene (PE), and cis-polybutadiene (cis-PB), using the concept of potential of mean force. Coarse-grained force fields were obtained from microscopic simulations for several coarse-graining levels, i.e.,...

    The slip behavior of several high-density polyethylenes (HDPEs) is studied as a function of molecular weight (Mw) and its distribution for moderate to broad molecular weight distribution resins. It is found that slip depends strongly on Mw and its distribution. The slip velocity increases with...
