Ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), the current polymer of choice in orthopedic prosthetic devices, is typically sterilized by exposure to Co-60 gamma irradiation prior to packaging for long-term storage. However, the exposure to Co-60 irradiation generates free radicals along the poly
A dynamic thermomechanical analysis method was used to determine the values of the viscoelastic parameters, storage modulus (E) and the tangent of the loss angle (tan d) of samples taken from the near surface and core regions of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) bar stock specimens th
