Ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMPVPE) and polypropylene             (UHMWPP) polymer gel fibers, if properly oriented, can yield good               mechanical properties comparable to some of the strongest materials             such as steels and carbon fibers.  The gel UHMWPE fibers show high              strength in the longitudinal direction but their strength in the                lateral direction is somewhat limited.  To improve dimensional                  stability and achieve uniform mechanical strength, a combination of             biaxial orientation and cross-linking of the fibers is underway.  This          fundamental, experimental study, when completed, is expected to find a          broader use of gel UHMWPE fibers in aerospace and marine applications.
