  • Methods For Making Crosslinked Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene
    Publication number: 20150368375
    Abstract: Method of preparing a crosslinked oxidation resistant ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene polymer (UHMWPE) involves 1) forming a blend containing UHMWPE powder, a crosslinker, and optionally an antioxidant; 2) applying first conditions of pressure and heat to consolidate the UHMWPE and 3) applying second conditions of heat to activate the crosslinker and crosslink the consolidated UHMWPE. The crosslinker activates at high temperature and is peroxide free.
