Investigating the Thermoformability of Uhmw-Polyethylene
Source abstract
Abstract
The formability of UHMW-polyethylene is examined by combining the concept of uniaxial testing at various temperatures at constant rate or constant load with a standardizable thermoforming method that employs molds with variable geometry. Preliminary results analyze and define processing parameters such as: heating time, vacuum pressure, and draw ratio, among others. Finished material properties of the resultant thermoformed parts are presented.
