Abstract:
The present invention relates to an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) powder having a BET specific surface area of ≥0.50 m2/g as determined in accordance with ISO 9277 (2010). Such UHMWPE powder allows for preparation of a gel solution comprising the powder to a desired swelling ratio at moderate temperatures within a reduced swelling period.
