High toughness, high elastic modulus UHMWPE fiber and method for producing the same

摘要

Processes for preparing ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW PE) filaments and multi-filament yarns, and the yarns and articles produced therefrom. Each process produces UHMW PE yarns having tenacities of 45 g/denier to 60 g/denier or more at commercially viable throughput rates.
