Recent Advances in UHMWPE/UHMWPE Nanocomposite/UHMWPE Hybrid Nanocomposite Polymer Coatings for Tribological Applications: A Comprehensive Review [PDF]

Polymers, 2021
In the recent past, polymer coatings have gained the attention of many researchers due to their low cost, their ability to be coated easily on different substrates, low friction and good anti-corrosion properties. Various polymers such as polytetrafluroethylene (PTFE), polyether ether ketone (PEEK), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), polyurethane (PU ...

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.

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.

Sintering and Processing-Dependent Mechanical Behavior of UHMWPE and Its Nanocomposites in the Presence of Microfine UHMWPE. [PDF]

ACS Omega
Research 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.

Traumatic Fracture of the Polyethylene Tibial Post in a Posterior-Stabilized Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Case Report. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT Posterior‐stabilized total knee arthroplasty (TKA) uses a cam–post mechanism to provide anteroposterior stability, but polyethylene tibial post failure can occur as a rare yet serious complication. We report a case of early TKA failure caused by traumatic tibial post fracture.
