Introduction

Ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber is a new kind of high performance fiber developed in the recent two decades.

Its distinctive properties are low friction coefficient, high wear resistance, high mechanical properties and, especially high strength can be reached by the UHMWPE fiber due to orientation of its very long polymeric chains.

Mechanical properties

It can be concluded that the breaking strength and Young׳s modulus of FS-F were significantly lower while the breaking elongation of FS-F was higher than the GS-F׳s.

Conclusion The UHMWPE microfiber was successfully

fabricated by flash-spinning using 1,2-Dichloroethane and cyclopentane as solvent.

The FS-F had lower strength and modulus, which was still higher than most of the other polymer fibers, but higher specific surface area and breaking elongation than the GS-F׳s.

The exactly intrinsic characteristic proved the FS-F to be suitable for various potential applications such as filter, microsensors, protective clothing and so on.
