Effect of Surface Crosslinking on the Wear and Friction Behavior of Tea Polyphenol Stabilized Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene for Total Joint Replacements [PDF]
Materials ResearchHighly crosslinked ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) with vitamin E (VE) as an antioxidant is widely used for joint implants. VE helps resist oxidation but raises concerns about reduced crosslink density and wear performance.

Impulse-driven surface breakdown data : a Weibull statistical analysis [PDF]
, 2012 Surface breakdown of oil-immersed solids chosen to insulate high-voltage, pulsed-power systems is a problem that can lead to catastrophic failure. Statistical analysis of the breakdown voltages, or times, associated with such liquid-solid interfaces can ...

Improving the surface properties of an UHMWPE shoulder implant with an atmospheric pressure plasma jet [PDF]
, 2018 Insufficient glenoid fixation is one of the main reasons for failure in total shoulder arthroplasty. This is predominantly caused by the inert nature of the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) used in the glenoid component of the implant ...

Which Design and Biomaterial Factors Affect Clinical Wear Performance of Total Disc Replacements? A Systematic Review [PDF]
, 2014 Background Total disc replacement was clinically introduced to reduce pain and preserve segmental motion of the lumbar and cervical spine. Previous case studies have reported on the wear and adverse local tissue reactions around artificial prostheses ...

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
