## Abstract The capillary flow properties and morphologies of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene/polypropylene (UHMWPE/PP) blends were studied. The results show that UHMWPE is difficult to process. The melts flowed unsteadily at lower shear rate. With 10 wt % PP contained in the UHMWPE/PP blen

The extent of recrystallization of nascent UHMWPE powder is easily measured by calorimetry. Melting and recrystallization of nascent UHMWPE at 140Β°C can be suppressed by compression molding. Crystals of UHMWPE prepared from dilute solution show a peak melting temperature of 140Β°C and exhibit crystal
## Abstract Various blend ratios of highβdensity polyethylene (HDPE) and ultrahighβmolecularβweight polyethylene (UHMWPE) were prepared with the objective of determining their suitability as biomaterials. Although the presence of HDPE in the blends enabled melt processing, the presence of UHMWPE he
