Uniaxial drawing by solid state coextrusion (SSCE) has been shown to            impart unusual properties to polymers.  These include increased melting         point, birefringence and tensile modulus, and negative coefficients of          thermal expansion, among others.  In one of the most remarkable                 examples, mats of single crystals of high density polyethylene were             drawn to draw ratios of over 200, producing a tensile modulus close to          the theoretical maximum.  The goal of this research is to extend the            fundamental knowledge of a process which can impressively alter the             morphology and structure of a polymer to give unusual properties and            materials which initially have unusual morphology and properties.               Solid state coextrusion will be attempted on nascent polyethylene.  The         drawing of polymer single crystal mats by the coextrusion process will          be undertaken.
