## Abstract Wear rates of orthopaedic polyethylene in 37Β°C water are not very contact stress dependent below 1000 psi (6.9 MPa) but above that level they accelerate substantially. The pressure dependence overall follows an exponential function. Creep in the contact pressure range of 3β17 MPa and ab
## Abstract A new processing method, high velocity compaction (HVC), is particularly adapted to process ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). In a previous study, it has been shown that UHMWPE processed by HVC exhibits superior Young's modulus and significant ductility, owing to the pr
## Abstract **Summary:** Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE)/zirconia composite has been prepared by in situ polymerization of ethylene using a Tiβbased ZieglerβNatta catalyst supported on the surface of zirconia. Comparison of mechanical and tribological properties has been carried o
