Chain entanglement, either cohesional or topological, distinguishes polymers from other
engineering materials. It impedes the movement of molecular segments and influences the …

This review summarizes the progress of transition metal catalyzed ethylene polymerization
to ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), focusing on the catalytic activities of …

The most straightforward and potentially ideal route to produce polar-functionalized
polyethylene is direct copolymerization of ethylene with polar monomers. However, access …

As a biobased and biodegradable material that can replace traditional petrochemical-based
polymers, poly (l-lactide)(PLLA) shows great application potential. However, its widespread …

One of the materials that attracts attention as a potential material for membrane formation is
ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). One potential material for membrane …

Polyethylene with a molecular weight greater than a million g/mol, is of increasing
commercial interest because it provides a route to make fibers and films that have …

Several homogeneous postmetallocene complexes are known to produce weakly entangled
ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene (disentangled UHMWPE) under controlled …

Nascent particles of ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) with different
entangled states and particle sizes have been processed by means of sintering. The chain …

Nascent powders of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) with different
molecular weights in the range 0.6< M v< 10.5 million g/mol have been processed by means …

In the past, studies have been performed to follow chain dynamics in an equilibrium polymer
melt using low molar mass polymers. Here we show that in linear ultrahigh molecular weight …
