With the help of Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy, it has been possible to study the molecular dynamics of disentangled Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene in a wide temperature and frequency range. Catalytic ashes of aluminum oxide act as dielectric probes, allowing the identification of five different processes: an alpha(c)-process due to movements in the crystalline phase, two gamma-processes attributed to amorphous chain portions close to the crystalline lamellae, and two beta-processes that we have attributed to the disentangled and entangled amorphous phases. The entanglement formation has been followed by isothermal runs and a model that predicts the energy spent to form entanglements as a function of time and temperature is thereby proposed. This model allowed us to calculate the associated activation energy of the entanglement process. Our work advances further the understanding of entanglement dynamics of ultra-high molecular weight polymers, and the proposed model could prove useful to describe other similar processes such as cross-linking.
