Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibres represent a class of advanced polymeric materials that combine exceptional tensile strength, low density, and remarkable chemical inertness.

When this lipase, derived from the anaerobic bacterium Pelosinus fermentans, was applied to polyethylene, the weight-average molecular weight decreased by 44.6% and the number-average molecular ...
