    Notes: Ultra high strength polyethylene (HSPE) fibers have been successfully photocrosslinked using benzophenone as photoinitiator. The introduction of photoinitiator without disturbing the fiber structure is a difficult problem which was solved by vapor absorption at elevated temperature while keeping the fiber under constant strain. The crosslinked fiber showed no decrease in mechanical properties at room temperature as is the case when fibers are crosslinked by other reported methods such as radiation and chemical crosslinking. The crosslinked fiber showed enhanced high temperature resistance as well as much lower creep rate on prolonged stressing. Photocrosslinking of HSPE fiber is superior to other crosslinking methods reported in the literature.
