Implications of a tailored non-equilibrium polymer melt state on the viscoelastic response and crystallisation behaviour of UHMWPE

In this thesis a non-equilibrium polymer melt with a heterogeneous distribution of entanglement density is investigated. This melt is achieved on melting of Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) which has been synthesised in specific conditions to yield a nascent material with a low amou...
