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
