During rolling, a system of shear bands appeared, which was observed using crossed polarizers. The effect of rolling speed and degree on the shear band system was studied. At low rolling speeds (6.5 mm/min), plastic flow occurs through numerous fine shear bands. At higher speeds (above 1300 mm/min), a single serrated deformation zone is observed. This is explained by thermal softening of the polymer and a decrease in yield strength, which suppresses the formation of competing shear bands. At intermediate rolling speeds, two, three, four, or five serrated zones appear, spaced approximately equally. Increasing the degree of rolling leads to an increase in the number of serrated shear zones and homogenization of the flow process. The temperature in the shear bands was estimated, and it was shown that very slight heating of the bands is sufficient to prevent the formation of multiple fine shear bands.

The simulation results are compared with the predictions of the kinetic theory of ion mobility, which relates the effect of increasing field strength to increasing ion temperature. As would be expected, the internal temperature of the ion <i>T</i><sub>ion</sub> increases with increasing random kinetic energy received by the ion from the field. However, it grows more slowly than expected in the two-temperature theory. Ion mobility is calculated as a function of the field strength <i>E</i> at constant gas temperature <i>T</i> (300 K) and as a function of <i>T</i> at low <i>E</i>. The results of these two series of calculations are compared at the same internal ion temperatures. The results coincide at <i>T</i><sub>ion</sub> close to <i>T</i>. At high ion temperatures, they diverge somewhat (by about 8% at <i>T</i><sub>ion</sub> = 600 K), which does not agree with the theory. Conformations and sizes of drifting ions, as well as their collision cross sections, calculated from the mobility, indicate that an increase in the number of attached protons leads to unfolding of the polymer chain. This effect is in satisfactory agreement with the Rayleigh criterion for the stability of a charged drop. An increase in field strength affects the collision cross section for several reasons.
