Study of UHMWPE Fiber Surface Modification and the Properties of UHMWPE/Epoxy Composite [PDF]
Polymers, 2020 Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE)/epoxy composites with excellent adhesive properties were prepared by forming an interface membrane on the UHMWPE fiber surface. The interface membrane of the UHMWPE fiber and epoxy resin was polymerized by an aldol condensation between polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and glutaraldehyde.

Sintering and Processing-Dependent Mechanical Behavior of UHMWPE and Its Nanocomposites in the Presence of Microfine UHMWPE. [PDF]
ACS OmegaResearch on ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) nanocomposites has advanced toward multifunctionality, but mechanical properties remain limited by incomplete polymer fusion during sintering due to restrictions in polymer chain diffusion as well as nanoparticle agglomeration at the polymer particle interfaces.

Wear Performance of UHMWPE and Reinforced UHMWPE Composites in Arthroplasty Applications: A Review [PDF]
Lubricants, 2015 As the gold standard material for artificial joints, ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) generates wear debris when the material is used in arthroplasty applications. Due to the adverse reactions of UHMWPE wear debris with surrounding tissues, the life time of UHMWPE joints is often limited to 15–20 years.
