Mechanical and tribological properties of short discontinuous UHMWPE fiber reinforced UHMWPE

open access: yesPolymer Bulletin, 1997
The tribological properties of Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene have generated new concern regarding the long-term clinical performance of total joint replacements. To extend the lifetime of artificial joints, it is necessary to decrease the wear rate of UHMWPE. One possible solution is the incorporation of UHMWPE fibers.

Statistical wear analysis of PA-6/UHMWPE alloy, UHMWPE and PA-6

open access: yesWear, 2001
This paper, based on an orthogonal experimental design and analysis method, reports the wear of a blend of polyamide-6/ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (PA-6/UHMWPE), using a pin-on-disc test, and rubbing against a stainless steel counterface. The wear behavior of PA-6 and UHMWPE was also investigated for the purpose of comparison.

Improvements to UHMWPE

open access: yesJournal of Undergraduate Research at Minnesota State University, Mankato, 2014
Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is a material used in artificial implants for articular joint replacements. However, these implants have a limited lifespan in which the patient will be pain-free due to the wear of the UHMWPE components.

Experimental comparison on tribological pairs UHMWPE/TIAL6V4 alloy, UHMWPE/AISI316L austenitic stainless and UHMWPE/AL2O3 ceramic, under dry and lubricated conditions [PDF]

open access: yesTribology International, 2016
Friction and wear behaviour of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) sliding against TiAl6V4 alloy, against AISI316L austenitic stainless steel and against Al2O3 ceramic under dry and lubricated conditions was investigated.

Catalysts for UHMWPE and UHMWPE-copolymers

Inorganica Chimica Acta, 2010
Abstract Classic inorganic and more recent organometallic compounds capable of polymerizing ethylene to ultra high molecular are compared. Activated catalysts showed varying degrees of productivity when challenged with co-monomers. The general activity trend followed TiCl 3 3 N -(3,5-diiodosalicylidene)cycloheptylamine titanium dichloride was ...
