Observations of slip traces in polyethylene single crystals |
|
| Authors: | Jü rgen Petermann,Herbert Gleiter |
| Abstract: | Single crystals of polyethylene are investigated by transmission electron microscopy. A pattern of lines is observed in the crystals. The properties of these lines suggest that the lines represent slip traces (slip steps) generated by the movement of dislocations in the polyethylene crystals. |
