Abstract
Micro-shish-kebab stirring-induced polyethylene crystals, as defined and described in the preceding paper, are flat, ribbon-shaped fibers. Selected area electron-diffraction techniques were used to determine the orientation of the crystal axes with respect to the external fiber shape. It has been shown that in addition to the crystal-lographic c-axis laying along the fiber direction, the normal to the ribbon plane is parallel to the crystallographic a-axis.Keywords
