Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) microporous membrane is generally prepared by thermally induced phase separation process. The phase separation process is closely related to the cooling process in practical production. In this paper, the phase separation temperature of UHMWPE/liquid paraffin blends was explored by the hot-stage-optical device and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), and the result showed that the temperature was about 105-125 degrees C. The effects of cooling condition and crystallization ability of UHMWPE on the separation process of the blends were also investigated by DSC. The results showed that the phase separation was affected by the cooling rates rather than the initial cooling temperature. And the crystallization of UHMWPE was mainly limited by the nucleating at a low cooling rate, which could form larger porous structure. In a word, it should be inspirational for the actual production of the UHMWPE microporous membrane. [GRAPHICS] .
