Surface modification of drawn gel-cast ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene films

Gel-spun ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers have superior properties but their use in composite material applications is limited by their poor adhesion to polymer matrices. Previous studies have shown that etching improves the adhesion of epoxy to the fibers, but leads to a reduction in mechanical properties. The purpose of this research was to use uniaxially drawn gel-cast UHMWPE films as a model system since both films and fibers have a highly oriented fibrillar structural hierarchy. Etching has detrimental effects on the mechanical properties and crystallinity of these very thin films. The small amount of carbonyl and carboxyl groups added to the surface through etching raises the film's surface tension and enhances wetting by epoxy. Even though the unmodified film cannot be bonded with epoxy, the interlaminar shear strength between epoxy and the etched films approaches the cohesive strength of the epoxy. A combination of interfacial and UHMWPE cohesive failures is observed. The increase in adhesion is attributed to the slight increase in surface oxygen.     

Improving toughness of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene with ionic liquid modified carbon nanofiber

Ionic liquids (ILs) with long alkyl substituted groups, including 1-docosanyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide (IL-1) and 1-docosanyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (IL-2), were synthesized and used to modify the surface of carbon nanofibers (CNF). The nanocomposite film prepared by solution-blending of ionic liquid modified CNF (i-CNF) and ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) displayed better toughness when compared with pure UHMWPE even at very low concentrations (e.g. 0.4 wt%). The effect of ionic liquids on the elongation-to-break ratio of this nanocomposite system was investigated. The ionic liquid with hexafluorophosphate as the anion was more efficient to increase the toughness of UHMWPE due to the improved compatibility of IL with UHMWPE in the polymer matrix than that of the bromide. The rheological behavior of molten nanocomposites revealed that the storage modulus and the complex viscosity decreased with increasing ionic liquid content in the high frequency region. However, a reverse trend was observed when the frequency was less than 0.05 s⁻¹. In-situ monitoring in the change of crystallinity of the nanocomposite during tensile deformation suggested a mechanism of sliding between UHMWPE crystal regions and the surface of carbon nanofibers.     

Effects of sunshine UV irradiation on the tensile properties and structure of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene fiber

This study investigated sunlight‐simulated ultraviolet (UV) beam irradiation on the tensile properties and structure of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers. The tensile results showed that after 300 h sunlight UV irradiation, the tensile properties of the UHMWPE fibers were obviously degraded. Investigation of morphology revealed that the crystallinity was slightly increased, whereas the overall orientation and molecular weight of the fibers were decreased. SEM observations indicated that the degradation process was nonuniform throughout the fiber and a change from a ductile to a brittle fracture mechanism was found after UV irradiation. DMA results showed two β‐relaxations and one α‐relaxation in the original single filament, and UV irradiation led to the increased intensity of the high‐temperature β‐relaxation and the lowered position of the low‐temperature β‐relaxation. This indicated that irradiation‐induced molecular scission and branching were located primarily in the amorphous and the interface areas of the fiber. Changes in the thermal behavior were also examined by DSC. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 89: 2757–2763, 2003

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.     

Shear-induced crystallization in isotactic polypropylene containing ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene oriented precursor domains

Melt blends of short ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers and isotactic polypropylene (iPP) were subjected to shear at 145 °C, above the melting point of polyethylene (PE). Structural evolution and final morphology were examined by in situ synchrotron X-ray scattering/diffraction as well as ex situ microbeam X-ray diffraction and high resolution scanning electron microscopy, respectively. Results indicate that the presence of oriented UHMWPE molten domains significantly facilitated the crystallization of iPP and enhanced the initial ‘shish-kebab’ structure leading to the final cylindritic morphology. It is argued that shear flow aligns the fibrillar UHMWPE domains, where the interfacial frictions between PE and iPP effectively retards the relaxation of iPP chains, allowing the aligned iPP chains to create a shish-like structure. Nucleation on the iPP shish initiates the folded chain lamellae (kebabs), which grow perpendicularly to the iPP/PE interface.
