Abstract EN
The extrusion of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibres cannot be achieved by conventional extrusion processes due to its very high melt viscosity.
To overcome this limitation, UHMWPE is first dissolved in a petrochemical to form a gel before extrusion.
The petrochemicals used to dissolve the polymer then need to be removed using other chemicals making the process unfriendly to the environment.
This article is focused on finding an environmentally friendly, natural solution to replace these chemicals and altering the process to potentially reduce the process cost.
