Critical review of the molecular topology of semicrystalline polymers: The origin and assessment of intercrystalline tie molecules and chain entanglements
Abstract
Intercrystalline molecular connections in semicrystalline polymers have been the subject of numerous discussions and controversies. Nevertheless, there is one point of agreement: such intercrystalline tie molecules have a prime role in the mechanical and use properties of the materials, notably the resistance to slow crack growth. This article is a critical review of the mechanisms of generation of the tie molecules during the stage of crystallization and of the experimental and theoretical assessment of their concentration. Polyethylene and related materials are mainly studied. The contribution of chain entanglements is also discussed in parallel with tie molecules. Particular attention is paid to Huang and Brown's statistical approach, which appears to be the most appropriate one for predictive purposes and has aroused much interest from various authors. Attempts are made to provide solutions to the shortcomings of this model. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys 43: 1729–1748, 2005

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
