Fabrication of modified ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene via hybrid approaches for next-generation biomedical implants [PDF]

open access: yesExploration of BioMat-X
Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is widely used as a key material in biomedical implants such as artificial joints due to its exceptional wear resistance, high impact strength, and good biocompatibility.

Effect of sliding speed and contact stress on tribological properties of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene [PDF]

open access: yes
A pin on disk apparatus was used to investigate the effect of sliding speed on the friction, wear, and transfer film characteristics of hemispherically tipped AISI 440C high temperature (HT) stainless steel riders sliding against ultrahigh molecular ...

Tribological characteristics of a composite total-surface hip replacement [PDF]

open access: yes
Continuous fiber, woven E glass composite femoral shells having the same elastic properties as bone were fabricated. The shells were then encrusted with filled epoxy wear resistant coatings and run dry against ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene ...

Simulated studies of wear and friction in total hip prosthesis components with various ball sizes and surface finishes [PDF]

open access: yes
Experiments were conducted on a newly designed total hip joint simulator. The apparatus closely simulates the complex motions and loads of the human hip in normal walking.

Effect of sterilization irradiation on friction and wear of ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene [PDF]

open access: yes
The effect of sterilization gamma irradiation on the friction and wear properties of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) sliding against 316L stainless steel in dry air at 23 C was determined. A pin-on-disk apparatus was used.
