Abstract We examined mechanical and morphological properties of fully transcrystalline polypropylene grown from the surface of poly(tetrafluoroethylene) sheets. Comparison of mechanical properties between transcrystalline and spherulitic polypropylenes demonstrated that Young’s modulus is dependent on the crystallinity and independent of the supermolecular structure. On the other hand, the mechanical yielding process was predominantly affected by the supermolecular structure, and the mechanical energy required for yielding of transcrystalline sheets was greater than that of the spherulitic morphology. In addition, it was found that mechanical necking is required for the alignment of lamellae in the stretching direction. This means that the unfolding process of lamellae orienting in the stretching direction is associated with necking and ductility.
