Microstructural contributions of different polyolefins to the deformation mechanisms of their binary blends [PDF]
, 2020 The mixing of polymers, even structurally similar polyolefins, inevitably leads to blend systems with a phase-separated morphology. Fundamentally understanding the changes in mechanical properties and occurring deformation mechanisms of these immiscible ...

Micro X-Ray Computed Tomography Mass Loss Assessment of Different UHMWPE: A Hip Joint Simulator Study on Standard vs. Cross-Linked Polyethylene. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 More than 60.000 hip arthroplasty are performed every year in Italy. Although Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight-Polyethylene remains the most used material as acetabular cup, wear of this material induces over time in vivo a foreign-body response and ...

Remaining lifespan prediction of cross‐linked polyethylene material based on GM(1, N) grey models
IET Generation, Transmission & Distribution, 2022 Cross‐linked polyethylene (XLPE) cables are a critical component of power transmission systems. As operating conditions sometimes exceed the thresholds set in discipline, some cables fail to reach their designed lifespan, and consequently evaluating the ...

Wear Tests of a Potential Biolubricant for Orthopedic Biopolymers [PDF]
, 2015 Most wear testing of orthopedic implant materials is undertaken with dilute bovine serum used as the lubricant. However, dilute bovine serum is different to the synovial fluid in which natural and artificial joints must operate. As part of a search for a

Correlation Between Thermal Parameters and Morphology of Cross-Linked Polyethylene
IEEE Access, 2020 This paper reveals a correlation between morphology and thermal parameters on cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) cable with different insulating states. Several cables were selected to detect the physicochemical and thermal parameters of the XLPE.

The process of EDC-NHS Cross-linking of reconstituted collagen fibres increases collagen fibrillar order and alignment. [PDF]
, 2015 We describe the production of collagen fibre bundles through a multi-strand, semi-continuous extrusion process. Cross-linking using an EDC (1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide), NHS (N-hydroxysuccinimide) combination was considered.
