Microporous film of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and method for producing the same

摘要

The invention relates to microporous films of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene and to a process for the preparation thereof by forming a solution of UHMWPE in an evaporable solvent into a film and evaporating the solvent from the film at a temperature below the dissolution temperature, the shrinking tendency occurring in the film being prevented in at least one direction in the plane of the film.
