Thermal characterization of commercial HDPE and UHMWPE
- Los Alamos National Lab. (LANL), Los Alamos, NM (United States)
Polyethylene (PE) is one of the most widely produced polymers in the world with applications in nearly every industry. To determine the applicability of PE for future projects at Los Alamos National Laboratory high density polyethylene (HDPE) and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) grades were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and thermomechanical analysis (TMA) to understand the melting temperature, heat capacity, and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE).
