Abstract
Paste-processed ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) polymers, and processes for the formation of dense UHMWPE films from a highly crystalline ultra high molecular weight polyethylene polymer are provided. The UHMWPE films described herein may be manufactured by 1) compressing a dry, porous UHMWPE tape and then stretching above the melt temperature of the UHMWPE polymer; 2) expanding a dry, porous UHMWPE tape above the melt of the UHMWPE polymer without compression; or 3) expanding a dry, porous UHMWPE tape below the melt of the UHMWPE polymer to form a porous membrane and subsequently compressing the porous membrane at temperatures above the melt of the UHMWPE polymer to forma dense film. This dense film may be further stretched biaxially to enhance the properties of the dense film.
