Abstract
Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) with an elevated melting point Tm of up to 144°C has been successfully fabricated by suspension polymerization initiated by Ziegler–Natta catalysts in a 1H,4H-octafluorobutane medium. This method allows one to efficiently perform the polymerization at a near-ambient temperature and a near-atmospheric ethylene pressure. The obtained polyethylenes have been characterized by IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and thermal analysis, and the melting points and degrees of crystallinity of the synthesized polymers have been found.
期刊介绍:
Doklady Chemistry is a journal that publishes new research in chemistry and chemical engineering of great significance. Initially the journal was a forum of the Russian Academy of Science and published only best contributions from Russia in the form of short articles. Now the journal welcomes submissions from any country in the English or Russian language. Every manuscript must be recommended by Russian or foreign members of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
