Abstract: This paper has studied the relationship of structure and properties of self-reinforced general grade high density polyethylene (HDPE) prepared by oscillating packing injection molding. The Young's modulus and tensile strength of HDPE have been enhanced greatly from original 1. 0 GPa, 23MPa to 5. 0 GPa, 93 MPa respectively. DSC, TEM and X-ray diffraction investigations indicate the improvement in mechanical properties is ascribed to the production of shish-kebab crystals, the orientation of molecular chains along the flow direction and well developed spherulites. Compared to high pressure injection molding, the method has good perspective in practical application.
