Ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) membranes were prepared using biaxial melt-drawing and subsequent melt-shrinking. Electron microscopy observations indicate that the former membrane has more extended-chain crystals (ECCs), whereas the latter is mainly composed of folded-chain crystals (FCCs). Corresponding double-melting endotherms are recorded on differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements. Detailed assignments of such double-melting components are performed using in situ X-ray measurements during heating. Wide- and small-angle X-ray diffraction and scattering (WAXD/SAXS) images were simultaneously recorded at SPring-8. Changes in WAXD images indicate that the orthorhombic reflection peak begins to decrease at 130 degrees C, followed by the appearance of the hexagonal reflection peak beyond 145 degrees C for both membranes, but the latter melt-shrunk membrane exhibits weaker hexagonal reflection intensity. Simultaneous SAXS results indicate that FCCs rapidly disappear at 135 degrees C for the melt-shrunk membrane, resulting in a sharper endotherm. In contrast, residual ECCs restrict the melting of FCCs for the melt-drawn membrane, resulting in a broader endotherm of FCC melting spread to a slightly higher temperature position.
