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.

Antimicrobial viscose rayon/O-carboxymethyl chitosan fibers (VCMFs) were manufactured by spinning the mixture of O-carboxymethyl chitosan (O-CMCS) xanthate and cellulose xanthate via the viscose process. The structure, morphology and mechanical properties were investigated by infrared, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscope and tensile test. The results show that the blend fibers of cellulose and O-CMCS were satisfactorily prepared and the two polymers were mixed homogeneously. VCMFs display striation along the fiber similar to those of viscose rayon fibers, and their mechanical properties are close to that of viscose rayon. With O-CMCS blended, VCMFs showed good moisture absorption and antibacterial activity against E.coli.
