摘要

超高分子量聚乙烯(UHMWPE)纤维绳因其优异的强度和耐久性被广泛应用于牵引、运输和户外救援作业。然而,长时间暴露在紫外线下会加速老化,显著影响其纤维结构和力学性能。为了研究UHMWPE纤维绳在紫外光下的老化行为,采用扫描电镜(SEM)、差示扫描量热法(DSC)、傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)、拉伸试验和耐磨试验等方法,分析了UHMWPE纤维绳在紫外光下的化学成分、形貌和强度。结果表明,紫外光可以破坏超高分子量聚乙烯的主链,引起聚乙烯的分子降解。最初,纤维表面是光滑的,但逐渐的紫外线照射会导致裂缝的形成。其力学性能明显恶化,经6次紫外线辐照后,拉伸强度从原来的1066 N显著下降到265 N,强度损失达75%。此外,UHMWPE绳的耐磨性随紫外线暴露时间的延长而降低。紫外辐射破坏了内部的C-C键,降低了折叠链结晶的熔化峰。在高温下,辐照有利于氧分子和其他气体穿透微裂纹,形成C=O键,引发氧化反应。最终,这将导致超高分子量聚乙烯的降解和其力学性能的下降。

Effect of Ultraviolet Aging on the Structure and Wear Resistance of Ultra-high-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene Ropes

Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber ropes are widely used in towing, transportation, and outdoor rescue operation due to their exceptional strength and durability. However, prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light accelerates aging, significantly affecting their fiber structure and mechanical properties. To investigate the aging behavior of UHMWPE fiber ropes under ultraviolet light, their chemical composition, morphology, and strength of UHMWPE fiber ropes under ultraviolet light were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR), tensile test, and wear resistance experiments. The results indicate that ultraviolet light can break the main chain of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene and induce the molecular degradation of polyethylene. Initially, the fiber surface is smooth, but progressive UV exposure causes the formation of cracks. Their mechanical properties deteriorate significantly, with tensile strength decreasing significantly from the original 1066 N to 265 N after six cycles of ultraviolet irradiation, representing a 75% strength loss. In addition, the wear resistance of UHMWPE ropes decreases with prolonged UV exposure. Ultraviolet radiation breaks the internal C–C bond, reducing the melting peak of folded chain crystallization. At elevated temperatures, irradiation facilitates the penetration of oxygen molecules and other gases through microcracks, leading to the formation of C=O bonds and initiating oxidation reactions. Ultimately, this results in the degradation of UHMWPE and a decrease in its mechanical properties.
