✦ Synopsis

Corona discharge treatment was conducted for ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber. The functional groups and surface roughness of the polyethylene fiber surface were determined by an X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The interfacial shear strength of UHMWPE fiber with HDPE film was determined by microbond pullout method. The interfacial shear strength increased by corona treatment. Then, the effect of the chemical and physical factors on the interfacial shear strength was discussed based on the results of multivariate regression analysis. The results indicated that the contribution of functional groups and surface roughness to the interfacial shear strength was expressed as 50 and 50%, respectively.

A theoretical relationship was recently proposed relating the wear behavior of polymetric bearing materials articulating against hard counterfaces. 1 This model attempts to predict the influence of surface roughness on wear. Laboratory-based studies have been used to establish the validity of these
