ABSTRACTShape memory effect in pure ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) has been studied using dynamic mechanical analysis. Temperature dependencies of properties that define functional characteristics of shape memory polymers (SMP) such as recovery stress, recovery strain and activation temperature of transition were determined for UHMWPE. The recovery stress in UHMWPE deformed by 200% achieved rather high values, up to 7 MPa.

The use of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW PE) for the manufacture of various parts, in particular cuffs for hydraulic drives, is proposed. The properties and advantages of UHMW PE in comparison with other polyethylene materials are considered. Keywords ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, hydraulic pump, hydraulic motor, hydraulic control valve, hydraulic oil, low temperature. [email protected]
