Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, was crosslinked in the melt at 180°C by means of 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-bis(tert-butyldioxy)-3-hexyne. It is shown that crosslinks and entanglements, whether trapped or not, contribute to the same degree to the decrease in crystallinity of the polyethylene upon crosslinking. Crosslinking introduced a very stable type of radical into the polyethylene. It was concluded that an almost completely crosslinked material with high crystallinity and therefore good mechanical properties, could be obtained by using as little as 0.2–0.3 wt% of peroxide.
