Hi. Could someone tell me the link between porosity and molecular weight for HDPE and UHMWPE?
Thanks, help is appreciated.

RE: Link between MW and porosity PE
density of PE and molecular weight are not related.
Density and porosity are related, if by porosity you mean barrier properties. For a specific polymer type, all other factors being equal, density is directly related to crystallinity, and barrier properties are directly related to crystallinity.

Sufficient time, pressure and heat should overcome the problem

It may be sintered form of UHWPE which would imply there may be porosity.
