Hi Eric you forgot all the industrial applications, it is massive in mining and other heavy industries, probably is in industrial field where most of the volume of these material goes.
Hi Eric, Thank you for this presentation. Maybe you can help me out here as I am way out of my depths here. I am just a car guy trying to start a small series electric car company. I am looking for a material that’s relatively cheap to build the world lightest, stiffest and strongest chassis to date. Do you think ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber alone or enhanced with graphene or other 2D nano composites can help me achieve that ? Thank you in advance
Uhmwpe polymer weaves have a dark history. It was used as a self healing material in dentistry in the early 80's. Ribbond came out in 1991 as a safe replacement. Ribbond is banded and doesn't come apart. Imagine having a uhmwpe polymer weave come apart in your mouth? Think I am a liar? I am a victim. These are some bad people who did this.

Is there a full paper on this?
Make more vids!

Nar, matie. Only dry (prepreg) fiber composites could give the strength to weight ratio ye be needin'.
