Abstract

Ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber is widely recognized for its exceptional properties, including high strength-to-weight ratio, toughness, and chemical resistance, making it a preferred material for reinforcement in various applications. However, its low melting point, surface inertness, and weak adhesion to polymer matrices have limited its potential use in some fields. Researchers have addressed these shortcomings by focusing on surface modifications through physical treatment or chemical coating, thereby enhancing the versatility of materials in numerous UHMWPE fiber composites. By improving the tribological and interfacial properties of UHMWPE, various applications can be explored, including prosthetic joints, energy-absorbing road safety systems, microelectromechanical system devices, and protective materials for defense and personal thermal management. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the remarkable performance of UHMWPE and its composites, providing insights into its wide array of applications.

基于不同制备工艺的超高分子量聚乙烯纤维应用综述

超高分子量聚乙烯(UHMWPE)纤维因其优异的性能而被广泛认可，包括高强度重量比，韧性和耐化学性，使其成为各种应用中增强的首选材料。然而，它的熔点低、表面惰性和与聚合物基体的附着力弱，限制了它在某些领域的潜在应用。研究人员通过物理处理或化学涂层的表面改性来解决这些缺点，从而提高了许多超高分子量聚乙烯纤维复合材料的多功能性。通过提高超高分子量聚乙烯的摩擦学和界面性能，可以探索各种应用，包括假肢关节、吸能道路安全系统、微机电系统设备、防御和个人热管理防护材料。本文综述了超高分子量聚乙烯及其复合材料的卓越性能，并对其广泛的应用提供了见解。
