Erwiderung zur Publikation: "Langsames Risswachstum von Polyethylen - Mythos und Wirklichkeit"

The response to the publication "Slow Crack Growth of Polyethylene – Myth and Reality" criticizes the inadequate reproducibility of tests. The authors highlight significant differences in stress crack behavior and recommend using samples from the same batch for the Full Notch Creep Test (FNCT).

The response to the publication "Langsames Risswachstum von Polyethylen – Mythos und Wirklichkeit" criticizes the inadequate reproducibility of tests in stress-crack-inducing media. The authors emphasize significant differences in stress crack behavior between original and repeat measurements, attributed to the use of samples from different pressing plates, and recommend using samples from the same batch for the Full Notch Creep Test (FNCT). Additionally, it was found that the FNCT on samples from different batches in a further surfactant at various temperatures shows significant differences.
