Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
1) Understanding of role of mechanical relaxation processes in determining fracture behaviour of polyethylene especially ductile/brittle transitions and shear lip formation; 2) Improvements in fracture toughness of polyethylene by control of morphology via changes in molecular structure leading to changes in energy absorbing mechanisms.
