Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is often considered an ideal reinforcing material due to its extraordinary characteristics like high abrasion resistance, excellent toughness, and chemical stability. However, the poor surface properties have significantly hindered the progress of UHMWPE with high performance. This review is intended to introduce the physicochemical mechanisms of UHMWPE interfacial property modification. Therefore, this review provides a concise overview of the progress in diverse surface modification techniques for UHMWPE and their strengths and limitations as polymer reinforcement materials. Lastly, an overview of the potential and challenges of each surface modification has been summarized.
超高分子量聚乙烯(UHMWPE)因其具有高耐磨性、优异韧性和化学稳定性等非凡特性,常被视为一种理想的增强材料。然而,其较差的表面性能严重阻碍了高性能UHMWPE的发展进程。本综述旨在介绍UHMWPE界面性能改性的物理化学机制。因此,本综述简要概述了UHMWPE各种表面改性技术的进展及其作为聚合物增强材料的优缺点。最后,总结了每种表面改性的潜力和挑战。
