Carbon nanotube ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene composite, molded article including the same, and method of fabricating the molded article

摘要

A carbon nanotube-ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene composite includes about 99 parts by weight to about 99.8 parts by weight of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, about 0.2 parts by weight to about 1 part by weight of carbon nanotubes, and about 0.1 parts by weight to about 0.5 parts by weight of a light stabilizer.

主权项

1. A method of fabricating a molded article from a carbon nanotube-ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene composite, the method comprising:
preparing a composite by mixing carbon nanotubes, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, and a light stabilizer; forming pellets from the composite; preparing a powder from the pellets; and fabricating a molded article using the powder, wherein fabricating the molded article using the powder comprises:
providing the powder to a ram extruder configured to extrude an intermediate mass at about 190° C. to about 220° C.
