Abstract

We studied the crystallization of nearly “homogeneous” polyethylene glycol (PEG) networks prepared by end-crosslinking of tetra-armed PEG. The influence of stretching ratio and strand length on the melting and crystallization temperature was investigated. The relation of melting temperature and elongation ratio verifies the thermodynamic theories of strain-induced polymer crystallization.
