Abstract: A polyethylene composite is manufactured by passing an inner core of fabric mesh sandwiched between two sheets of polyethylene material through a conventional set of high-pressure rollers at room temperature. The pressure exerted by the rollers on the polyethylene material causes its fluidification, so that each polyethylene layer permeates through the open mesh of the core material, bonds to the other layer and incorporates the core fibers to form a laminate composite. The thickness of the polyethylene sheets in relation to the gap and speed of the rollers has to be judiciously selected so that the pressure applied to the material is sufficient to fluidize the polyethylene at ambient temperature. Because no heat is applied to the system, the laminate composite is rapidly cooled as it passes through the rollers and requires no additional forming or processing.
