Polyethylene Fiber Drawing Optimization

Polymer fiber drawing creates fibers with enhanced thermal conductivity and strength compared to bulk polymer because drawing aligns the molecular chains. I optimize the polymer fiber drawing method in order to achieve polymer fibers that are drawn to lengths exceeding 1cm and develop a method to cut and store them for future experimental purposes. With lengths exceeding 1cm, starting with leng...

Surfactant Effects on Structure and Mechanical Properties of Ultrahigh-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene/Layered Silicate Composites.

In this study, the reinforcement of ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) with biotite was investigated. The biotite filler was mechanically activated with different dry surfactants to improve its compatibility with UHMWPE and decrease agglomeration among biotite particles. Alkyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride (ADBAC) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) were selected as cationi...

Change of Morphological Properties in Drawing Water- Swollen Cellulose Films Prepared from Organic Solutions. A View of Molecular Orientation in the Drawing Process

Drawable water-swollen cellulose films were prepared by coagulating in water two different cellulose organic solution systems. The drawability of the waterswollen films was dependent on the rate of coagulation. Transparent films prepared by the slow coagulation showed good drawability and had a maximum draw ratio of 2.0. However, the drawn films maintained the highly noncrystalline state even a...
