Wetting of oriented and etched ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene

Highly oriented gel‐spun ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers possess many outstanding properties desirable for composite materials but their adhesion to such matrices as epoxy is poor. This article describes the combined effects of drawing and surface modification on the bulk and surface properties of gel‐cast UHMWPE films emphasizing the effects of etching on both undrawn and drawn films. Drawing the films yields a fibrillar structural hierarchy similar to UHMWPE fibers and a significant increase in orientation, melting point, modulus, and strength. The effects of drawing on bulk properties were more significant than those of etching. The poor adhesion of epoxy to the smooth, fibrillar, and relatively nonpolar drawn film surface improves significantly with oxidization and roughening on etching. The interlaminar shear failure occurred cohesively in the UHMWPE, and thus the interlaminar shear failure strength was greater for the drawn UHMWPE with its greater tensile strength. Nitrogen plasma etching yielded the best results, both removing any low molecular weight surface layer and etching the UHMWPE beneath. Oxygen plasma etching enhanced wetting but was too harsh, causing extensive surface degradation and a significant reduction in mechanical properties. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Surface modification of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers by γ-radiation-induced grafting

A technique for grafting acrylic polymers on the surface of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers utilizing ⁶⁰Co gamma radiation at low dose rates and low total dose has been developed. Unlike some of the more prevalent surface modification schemes, this technique achieves surface grafting with complete retention of the exceptional UHMWPE fiber mechanical properties. In particular, poly(butyl acrylate) and poly(cyclohexyl methacrylate) were successfully grafted onto UHMWPE fibers with no loss in tensile properties. The surface and tensile properties of the fibers were evaluated using Fourier transform infrared/photoacoustic spectroscopy (FTIR/PAS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and tensile tests. The reinforcement efficiency of untreated, polymer-grafted, and plasma-treated UHMWPE fibers in polystyrene and a poly(styrene-co-butyl acrylate-co-cyclohexyl methacrylate) statistical terpolymer was characterized using mechanical tensile tests. The thermoplastic matrix composites were prepared with 4 wt% discontinuous (10 mm), randomly distributed UHMWPE fibers. An approximate 30% increase in composite strength and modulus was observed for poly(cyclohexyl methacrylate)-grafted fibers in the terpolymer and polystyrene matrices. A comparable improvement was realized with the plasma-treated fibers. On the other hand, poly(butyl acrylate) grafts induced void formation, i.e. energy dissipation through plastic deformation and volume expansion at the fiber/matrix interface in terpolymer composites. The latter resulted in a 75% increase in the elongation to failure. The effect of polymer grafts on fiber/matrix adhesion is discussed in terms of the graft and matrix chain interactions and solubility, graft chain mobility, and fracture surface characteristics as determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).     

Surface modification and physical properties of various UHMWPE‐fiber‐reinforced modified epoxy composites

Two surface modification methods—plasma surface treatment and chemical agent treatment—were used to investigate their effects on the surface properties of ultrahigh‐molecular‐weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers. In the analyses, performed using electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis, changes in weight, and scanning electron microscope observations, demonstrated that the two fiber‐surface‐modified composites formed between UHMWPE fiber and epoxy matrix exhibited improved interfacial adhesion and slight improvements in tensile strengths, but notable decreases in elongation, relative to those properties of the composites reinforced with the untreated UHMWPE fibers. In addition, three kinds of epoxy resins—neat DGEBA, polyurethane‐crosslinked DGEBA, and BHHBP‐DGEBA—were used as resin matrices to examine the tensile and elongation properties of their UHMWPE fiber‐reinforced composites. From stress/strain measurements and scanning electron microscope observations, the resin matrix improved the tensile strength apparently, but did not affect the elongation. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Surface modification of ultra‐high‐molecular‐weight polyethylene. II. Effect on the physicomechanical and tribological properties of ultra‐high‐molecular‐weight polyethylene/poly(ethylene terephthalate) composites

We performed surface modification of ultra‐high‐molecular‐weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) through chromic acid etching, with the aim of improving the performance of its composites with poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fibers. In this article, we report on the morphology and physicomechanical and tribological properties of modified UHMWPE/PET composites. Composites containing chemically modified UHMWPE had higher impact properties than those based on unmodified UHMWPE because of improved interfacial bonding between the polymer matrix and the fibers and better dispersion of the fibers within the modified UHMWPE matrix. Chemical modification of UHMWPE before the introduction of PET fibers resulted in composites exhibiting improved wear resistance compared to the base material and compared to unmodified UHMWPE/PET composites. On the basis of the morphological studies of worn samples, microploughing and fatigue failure associated with microcracking were identified as the principle wear mechanisms. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Enhanced wear resistance of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers by modified-graphite oxide

A simple and feasible method to enhance the wear resistance of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers was reported. The graphite oxide (GO) prepared using improved Hummer's method was surface modified with hexadecylamine to improve its compatibility with UHMWPE. Combined with well-dispersion of modified-GO (m-GO) in dichloromethane and the fact that the viscosity of UHMWPE suspension can be decreased by dichloromethane, the well dispersed m-GO/dichloromethane was added into UHMWPE suspension to improve m-GO dispersion in UHMWPE fibers. Finally, UHMWPE fibers with different m-GO concentration were prepared using gel spinning technology. The effect of m-GO concentration on the structure and properties of modified UHMWPE fibers were investigated. The results indicated that the melting temperature and crystallinity of m-GO modified UHMWPE fibers increased with increasing of m-GO concentration, while the fiber's crystal sizes and orientation increased, thus the tensile strength of m-GO modified UHMWPE fibers remained almost undamaged. The introduction of m-GO is beneficial to the formation of smooth transfer film on fiber's surface, which enhanced the self-lubrication of UHMWPE fibers. Compared with pure UHMWPE fiber, the UHMWPE fiber containing 1.5 wt% m-GO had enhanced wear resistance by 55.4% and still maintained high tensile strength of 29.98 cN dtex⁻¹.
