Tensile stress–strain behavior and dilatation behavior of CaCO 3 ‐filled linear polyethylenes with differing molecular weight was found to be dependent upon filler content, polymer filler interface, and polymer molecular weight. Electron microscopy of samples undergoing deformation revealed the presence of craze type deformation.
