## Abstract A critical concentration was found for different compositions of UHMWPE/SBPE solutions, at which the concentration dependence of the reduced viscosity changes from low to high power. The critical concentration (__C__~c~) is shifted to a higher value with increasing amount of SBPE in the

Thermolysis, coupled with reactive distillation, was investigated as a process to convert waste olefin-based polymers into value-added products. The degradation of two types of polyethylene, linear low and high density, was investigated. The initial molecular structure of the polymer was found to ha
## Abstract Several highly crossβlinked and remelted ultrahighβmolecular weight polyethylenes (UHMWPE) were introduced in 1998 as bearing materials for orthopaedic implants to achieve superior wear performance. However, gamma radiation and the subsequent postirradiation thermal treatment are associ
## Abstract Creep studies were carried out on a range of homopolymers and copolymers of polyethylene with wellβdefined molecular weight and branch content. The creep data were analyzed in terms of two thermally activated processes acting in parallel and the effects of molecular weight and branch co
