Small-angle neutron and X-ray scattering measurements were conducted on blends of deuterated polyethylene and hydrogenateted polyethylene with various molecular weights drawn just below the melting temperature at three drawing rates to study role of molecular weigh in shish-kebab formation. It was found that low molecular weight component was mainly included in shish for the present experimental condition. The result contradicts our previous result, showing that there are various shish-kebab formation mechanisms that are not known so far.
