An improved process for solution spinning of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW PE) filaments, wherein the 10 wt % solution of the UHMW PE in mineral oil at 250&#xb0; C. has a Cogswell extensional viscosity and a shear viscosity within select ranges.

Process and product of high strength UHMW PE fibers

A robust process for the continuous preparation of solutions of high molecular weight UHMW PO that is capable of producing strong materials at high production capacity, is conservative of capital and energy requirements, and the articles made therefrom.

High molecular weight poly(alpha-olefin) solutions and articles made therefrom

A process for preparing ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) multi-filament yarns having improved tensile properties and the yarns and articles thereby produced.

High tenacity polyethylene yarn

Drawn multi-filament polyethylene yarns and articles thereof having unique signatures in dynamic mechanical analysis reflective of unique microstructures, and having superior ballistic resistant properties.

Drawn gel-spun polyethylene yarns

A fiber comprises a core, a sheath, and an additive that determines a desired physico-chemical parameter of the fiber, wherein the fiber is spun such that without increasing the concentration of the additive the desired parameter increases when the volume of the sheath decreases. Especially preferred additives include chromophores (e.g., a UV absorbing agent), flame-retardants, and adhesion promoters.

High-strength thin sheath fibers

Polymeric additives and polymeric articles comprising said additive

Compositions and methods are directed to a sheath core fiber with a core and a sheath that comprises a fluoropolymer. Contemplated sheath materials include PVDF, ECTFE, and ETFE, and may have an apparent shear viscosity equal to or less than the apparent shear viscosity of the core material. Especially contemplated sheaths have a weight of 30% or less of the weight of the fiber. Preferred fibers are spun in a spin pack having a sheath material conduit with a ratio of open volume to sheath material mass flow of less than 0.75 for a fiber with a 30 wt % sheath, of less than 1.15 for a fiber with a 20 wt % sheath, and of less than 2.30 for a fiber with a 10 wt % sheath
