2.1 Materials and chemicals
The ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE)
powder used in this study was kindly donated by IRPC plc.
Xylene, decalin and paraffin oil were used as the solvents for
UHMWPE. Xylene and decalin were analytical grade while
paraffine oil was commercial grade. This research used solvent 3
type because high boiling point and non-polar solvent.
