Yielding in semi-crystalline polymers is generally attributed to crystallite thickness. However,
a better correlation is found between yield stress and crystallinity degree. In this paper, it is …

This study reports on the suitability of different experimental techniques to evaluate
chemical, microstructural, and mechanical changes associated with in vivo oxidation …

Crosslinking is known to increase the wear resistance of ultra-high molecular weight
polyethylene (UHMWPE) used as an acetabular cup in total hip replacement. The same …

The Raman spectra of the blends that result from the melt mixing of polyethylene (PE) and
isotactic polypropylene (PP) are studied. The contents of the blend components can be …

The surface melting and lamella rearrangement process that happen in commercially
available linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) were studied with special emphasis on …

Raman spectroscopy has been applied for the rapid and nondestructive monitoring of the
interlayer structure of sodium montmorillonite (MMT) clay modified by ditetradecyl dimethyl …

The impact of femoral head surface roughness on wear of γ‐irradiation sterilized (3 MRad in
