Correlation Between Processing and Material Strength: Case of UHMWPE
This collaborative effort examines the relationship between processing conditions and material performance in high impact (high strain rate)
Direct Measure of Crystalline Domain Size, Distribution, and Orientation in Polyethylene Fibers
Abstract High performance ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers are primarily composed of extended chain (shish) and
Multiscale Approaches to Formation of Thermoplastic Prepreg Short Carbon Fiber
Abstract The fabrication of prepreg carbon fiber typically involves continuous fibers or fabrics which cannot be easily translated
High Throughput Carbon Fiber Surface Modification
Abstract Typical commercial surface treatments for continuous carbon fibers are often unavailable for short fibers. As such, there
The Evolution of Crystalline Structures During Gel Spinning of Ultra-high Molecular Weight Polyethylene Fibers
Abstract Most studies are focused on the final mechanical properties of the fiber and the processing window required
Novel Processing Apparatus to Control Multiscale Morphology in Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Fibers
Abstract This work focuses on the use of a novel apparatus to study gel-spinning of ultra-high molecular weight
