The invention provides low-entanglement copolymerized modified ultra-high molecular weight
polyethylene, the
viscosity average molecular weight of the low-entanglement copolymerized modified ultra-high molecular weight
polyethylene is 1,000,000-1,200,000, the molecular
weight distribution is 2-3, the tensile strength is 55-60 MPa, and the ratio of the initial
elastic modulus to the equilibrium
elastic modulus is 0.1-0.2. The preparation method comprises the following steps: diluting a
metallocene catalyst and a cocatalyst with a
solvent to obtain a catalyst
diluent; the
solvent is
inert alkane of which the
boiling point is not lower than 145 DEG C; adding a
solvent as a kettle bottom solution into a stirring reaction kettle, adding the catalyst
diluent,
ethylene, 1-octylene and
hydrogen into the kettle according to a stoichiometric ratio, and carrying out
polymerization reaction at the temperature of 60-90 DEG C and the pressure in the kettle of 0.2-0.8 MPa; and after
polymerization is completed,
slurry discharged from the
slurry is subjected to post-treatment. The high-performance low-entanglement copolymerized modified ultra-high molecular weight
polyethylene is obtained by copolymerizing
ethylene and 1-octylene and adopting long-chain
alkane as a solvent, so that the
machining performance of the product is greatly improved, and the problems of difficult
polymerization, poor product performance, low octylene polymerization degree and the like existing in
ethylene and octylene copolymerization are solved.
