Advances in gel-spinning technology and Dyneema fiber applications... 

The Dyneema fiber was first introduced at the "International Man-made Fibers Congress" in Dornbirn (Austria) on 24-26 September 1986. Since then research has continued resulting in ... 

The properties of Dyneema fibers in comparison to other high performance fibers have given rise to a real new class of materials. The first diagram gives a plot of specific strength vs specific modulus. Especially in specific strength Dyneema has unique properties and it is clear that there still remain possibilities for further improvement. In specific modulus Dyneema has higher values than aramids and almost equals certain types of carbon fiber. 

The properties of the Dyneema fiber get better when the temperature is lower. This holds especially with strength and creep. The tenacity rises fast and a brittle point has not yet been measured. Creep is also sensitive to temperature (Arrhenius type of dependency), reaching lower figures at lower temperatures. The absolute figure for creep also strongly depends on the process as mentioned before and on the grade of UHMWPE that is used to produce the fibers giving rise to differences in the plateau creep rate of more than one decade. 

Producing a product that contains the Dyneema fiber, usually starts with one of the following processes.

Dyneema Super-strong polyethylene fiber DSM/Toyoba... 

Extended-chain polyethylene fiber became available commercially in 1984 when DSM, a Dutch firm in the Netherlands, introduced Dyneema , and Mitsui Petrochemicals in Japan announced Tekmilon . Allied Signal of the United States entered the field in 1985 when it introduced Spectra fibers. These materials are characterized by very high strength and modulus, which are achieved by the use of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene spun by the gel spinning method into fibers having extended-chain structures and near perfect orientation. 

Another effect of the high degree of chain alignment in these fibers is manifested when they are put in a polymeric matrix to form a fiber reinforced composite. High modulus polyethylene fibers such as Spectra or Dyneema are hard... 

There is a difference among high-performance materiais. That is why it is aiways worth making sure you are using genuine Dyneema — the worid s strongest fiber .
