The morphology of unidirectional cold rolled polyethylene was investigated. The techniques of scanning electronmicroscopy, wide angle X-ray diffraction, DTA, and XYZ photographic light scattering were employed. Most of the study was undertaken using low density polyethylene which had been initially cold rolled to an elongation of 100% and then annealed under vacuum for 30 min at 92~ Some work utilised rolled but not annealed material. The investigation illustrated that the use of the new technique of XYZ photographic light scattering was indeed successful in its application to the study of the morphology of such material. Use of this technique is suggested for similar studies on biaxially oriented films. It was also found that Keller's three zone material could be produced. Speculation is made about the morphology and texture of both the rolled and annealed and the rolled and unannealed material.
