Application Opportunities by Engineering the Properties of Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE)
Anagnostis E. Zachariades, Ph.D.
President, Polteco Inc.
Abstract:
The presentation will provide an overview of research and development work at Polteco Inc. to engineer the properties of Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) for specific biomedical and industrial applications requiring light weight and high mechanical performance. Challenging aspects in designing processing methodologies to produce required properties, to understand the morphology and property relationships of UHMWPE, and to ensure process control and reliability of properties will be discussed in relation to particular UHMWPE products.
