Streching a polyethylene strip upon heating
A strip of UHMW PE is heated and gradually stretched over 180 ºC, the melting temperature of PE, the polymer chains coil up again causing the film to shrink. Again heating to 120-136 ºC an attempt will be made to stretch it Courtesy of DoITPoMS, The University of Cambridge.
