Abstract
The first successful preparation of homogeneous continuous high modulus polyethylene was carried out at Leeds University in 1972. Compression moulded sheets of comparatively low molecular weight polyethylenes were drawn 30 times to give thin tapes with initial moduli ∼ 70 GNm−2. Though these materials were of high modulus, they showed comparatively poor creep and strength properties. Supsequently, it has proved possible to extend the range of...
