Graphene oxide (GO)/ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) composites were
prepared by liquid-phase ultrasonication dispersion followed by hot-pressing. The …

The incorporation of carbon nanotubes to a polymer generally improves the stiffness and
strength of the polymer, but the ductility and toughness of the polymer are compromised in …

A considerable number of total-joint replacement devices used in orthopaedic medicine
involve articulation between a metallic alloy and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene …

This paper presents a hierarchical multiscale simulation framework for investigating the
interface effects in polymer nanocomposites. In this framework, the load transfer ability of the …

Ag-coated CNTs hybrid nanoparticles (Ag/CNTs) were prepared by ultrasonic irradiation of
dimethylformamide (DMF) and silver (I) acetate precursors in the presence of CNTs. The …

Improving the wear resistance of ultra‐high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), the
gold standard polymer for acetabular component in hip joint arthroplasty, is the most …
