Ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene: Catalysis, structure, properties, processing and applications
Abstract
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. This review addresses these fundamental challenges and provides an overview of recent developments in the field of UHMWPE. The nature of catalysts, reaction conditions that favor its formation, their physical properties, methods of processing them into products, and their applications are discussed. Recent developments in formation of UHMWPE in a disentangled state by use of appropriate catalysts and reaction conditions are also discussed. This has elicited considerable interest as a means of enabling melt processing of UHMWPE. This review provides a comprehensive source of information and understanding of the multifaceted aspects of UHMWPE with specific reference to chemistry, catalysis, processes for manufacturing, and an analysis of catalyst structure-polymer property relationships.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
