Abstract

The dynamic mechanical analysis storage and loss modulus of a NIST SRM 8456 Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene is determined in 3-point bending in an interlaboratory test. Mean values of (1.18 ± 0.17) GPa for storage modulus and (62.0 ± 9.0) MPa for loss modulus were determined at 21 °C. In addition, the temperature (molecular) spectrum for the material is observed between −100 and +100 °C. These results permit the use of this material for calibration, conformance, and performance demonstration for dynamic mechanical analyzers.
