## Abstract The wear rate of ultrahigh molecular weight (UHMW) polyethylene over a long campaign of sliding distance is not constant. Both unfilled and graphite filled polyethylene show a high rate early, which reduces to a low value. The graphite‐filled product shows a late stage increase in wear
## Abstract Fatigue‐related damage in UHMWPE is one of the main causes of long‐term failure in total joint replacements. Crosslinking ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) by gamma or electron‐beam irradiation, in combination with prior or further thermal treatment, enhances its wear res
