Oct 1, 2020 · Abstract. Ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) belongs to an emerging class of high-performance specialty polymers with a unique set of properties and applications. The field has witnessed many scientific and technological advances in recent years. However, synthesis of UHMWPE is not a trivial exercise and presents several challenges.
Abstract. Three grades of polyethylene, with weight-average relative molar masses, ¯¯¯ ¯M W M ‾ W , of approximately 0.6 × 10 6, 5 × 10 6, and 9 × 10 6, were supplied as compression mouldings by a leading manufacturer of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). They were code-named PE06, PE5, and PE9, respectively.
The effects of particle morphology on the structure and swelling/ dissolution and rheological properties of nascent ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) in liquid paraffin (LP) were elaborately explored in this article.
