Summary. In short, this study suggests that the average crystal size of UHMWPE increases when compression molding is performed in presence of vitamin E and thisIn short, this study suggests that the average crystal size of UHMWPE increases when compression molding is performed in presence of vitamin E and this increase is proportional to the
Figure 2 Percentage fraction of three phase morphology as function vitamin E vitamin E concentration However, the percent crystallinity remains constant for almost all samples of interest as obvious from Raman tests and percentage of amorphous region decreases, while that of interfacial region increases.
