The morphology of UHMWPE-granite composite film was determined by using optical and scanning electron microscope, differential scanning calorimetry and Raman. Uniform dispersion of granite particles within ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene solution was the first step to achieve ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene-granite sheet samples with excellent properties. In differential scanning calorimetry analysis 50.1 % crystallinity of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene-1 mass% granite composite was calculated from the endothermic peak area occurred around 142 A degrees C which correspond to melting point of composite. Mechanical property of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene-1 mass% granite composite was tested with tensile test and shown to possess unique properties, in particular an increase of over 2.5 times in Young's modulus in comparison with pure ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessUHMWPEGraniteCompositeCrystallinityTensile testYoung's modulusConference ObjectQ1Q11252659665WOS:0003794914000123
