Abstract
The effect of nanodisperse TiO2 powder additions obtained in low-pressure arc discharge plasma on the physicomechanical properties of the ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) samples obtained by hot molding was studied. Vacuum plasma-arc modification of UHMW-PE led to an increase in its deformation and strength characteristics. X-Ray diffraction analysis and electron microscopy showed that vacuum plasma-arc modification led to changes in the structure of UHMW-PE.
