Abstract: A process for producing polyolefin materials is disclosed which comprises the steps of (a) preparing a molded article of an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyolefin having a viscosity-average molecular weight of more than 500,000; (b) stretching said article by more than thirty-fold; (c) contracting the thus stretched article to an extent ranging from 0.3 to 80% in the direction of stretch; and (d) re-stretching the thus contracted article. The resulting polyolefin materials are improved in mechanical strength and elasticity modulus.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a colored stretched polyethylene material which comprises an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene having an intrinsic viscosity of 5-50 dl/g in decalin at 135.degree. C. and 0.001-50 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of the polyethylene, of a dye and/or a pigment and which has been stretched at a temperature lower than the melting point of the polyethylene, and a process for producing said polyethylene material. This colored stretched polyethylene material has a tensile modulus of 120 Gpa or more and a tensile strength of 1.5 GPa or more.

Abstract: The present invention provides a split polyethylene stretched material having a tensile strength of at least 0.7 GPa when twisted in the range of 50-500 times/m, which material is produced by subjecting a polyethylene having an intrinsic viscosity of 5-50 dl/g as measured at 135.degree. C. in decalin, i.e. an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene to stretching and then subjecting the stretched polyethylene to splitting, as well as a process for producing said material. The split polyethylene stretched material according to the present invention has a large surface area and accordingly can be easily laminated to other materials, and has a high strength and flexibility.
