Abstract

Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers are indispensable fiber materials for the development of national defense, military industry, aerospace, and high-tech industries. In order to deeply analyze the issues faced by domestic UHMWPE fibers in the production process, further improve the quality of domestic UHMWPE fibers, optimize existing fiber production technologies, and propose suggestions for future development directions, the article systematically introduces the principles and current status of UHMWPE fiber preparation both domestically and internationally. It also provides a summary and analysis of the cutting-edge technologies in different preparation methods and briefly elaborates on the dissolution mechanism of UHMWPE in solvents, in combination with the characteristics of UHMWPE spinning solvents.
