Tensile and impact test samples of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), high-density (HDPE), their blends at various UHMWPE/HDPE ratios were prepared via compression molding injection for thermal, rheological, mechanical characterization. A twin-screw extruder with either a tapered die air-cooling or regular was used to compound extrude the materials prior pelletization molding. T...
