These results may simply reflect different physics: under low stress conditions shish propagation may be slow (certainly very few shish are formed, and the morphology was predominantly spherullitic), giving greater time for species to partition into and out of the shish as they grow. In addition, the crystallization characteristics of the deuterium labelled polyethylene chains were not reported in that study and small differences in defect content between the long chains and the matrix may drive crystallization-induced segrgation of the long chains into the shish in their system.
