HYDROPHILICALLY MODIFIED PULVERULENT HIGH AND/OR ULTRA-HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT POLYETHYLENE

摘要

The present invention relates to hydrophilically modified high and/or ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (HMW-PE or UHMW-PE), which is coated with a mixture comprising 1 - 99.9 % by weight of at least one watersoluble additive and 0.1 - 99 % by weight of at least one water-insoluble additive, the content of the mixture being 0.1 - 10 % by weight, based on the total weight of hydrophilically modified HMW-PE and/or UHMW-PE. The invention furthermore relates to a process for the preparation of the hydrophilically modified HMW-PE and/or UHMW-PE and its use for the production of porous moldings.
