Abstract

Summary: The temperature dependence of the structure of either cross‐linked or non‐cross‐linked ultra‐high‐molecular‐weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber compacts was studied by synchrotron microbeam wide‐angle X‐ray scattering (WAXS), focusing on the fiber‐fiber interface. The phase transition sequence is: melting of the monoclinic phase in the fiber skin, which was completed by 135 °C; melting of the unconstrained orthorhombic phase, by 152 °C; melting of the constrained orthorhombic phase and a orthorhombic‐hexagonal phase transition until 157 °C; and gradual melting of the hexagonal phase, up to 165 °C. Cross‐linking provides additional thermal stabilization.

Histograms of the azimuthally averaged X‐ray intensity as a function of temperature for cross‐linked ultra‐high‐molecular‐weight polyethylene fiber compacts molded at 145 °C.
