Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is a semicrystalline polymer that has
been used for over four decades as a bearing surface in total joint replacements. The …

The present study aims to collect data, compare results and assess techniques used for
improving corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of biodegradable Mg alloys for …

Wear debris related osteolysis is recognised as being the main cause of failure in joint
replacements based on UHMWPE inserts. However, many solutions and “new” …

People suffering from accidents and joint diseases such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid
arthritis, and post-traumatic arthritis may need surgery requiring implants such as total hip …

The thermal oxidation of polyethylene films in air at 80° C and 90° C has been studied by
tensile testing, IR spectrophotometry and molar mass determination from rheometric …

This study evaluated the tradeoffs amongst fatigue crack propagation resistance, wear
resistance, and oxidative stability in a wide variety of clinically-relevant cross-linked ultra …

Carbon-based nanomaterials are great choice as reinforcement to Ultra-High Molecular-
Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE), with potential use in orthopedics. While high in-plane …

In this study the friction, wear and surface mechanical behavior of medical-grade ultra-high
molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE)(GUR 1050 resin) were evaluated as a function of …

In the present work, multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) reinforced UHMWPE composite
films were prepared by electrostatic spraying followed by consolidation. X-ray diffraction and …

This work seeks to contribute to solving the problems of inadequate artificial joint design
from the mechanical perspective in total joint replacement (TJR) surgery. Ultra-high …
