Crystallization of polyethylene (PE) blends of low and high molecular weight components under shear flow was studied using time-resolved depolarized light scattering (DPLS), focusing on effects of the high molecular weight component on the shish-kebab structure formation. Anisotropic two-dimensional scattering pattern due to shish-like structure formation was observed above a certain concentration of the high molecular weight PE. The threshold was about 2.5-3 times larger than the chain overlap concentration, suggesting an important role of entanglements of the high molecular weight component. On the basis of these results a gel-spinning-like mechanism for the shish-like structure formation has been proposed. The DPLS results also implied that the shish-like structure was mainly formed from the high molecular weight PE. This was confirmed by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements on an elongated PE blend of low molecular weight deuterated PE and high molecular weight hydrogenated PE (3 wt%).
