The nascent morphology of UHMW PE exhibits high melting point, high crystallinity, and increased WAXS line breadth relative to samples formed by melt crystallization. Different empirical relationships between crystal size and melting point are observed for nascent and molded samples. This differenti

## Abstract Analytical studies of the stresses on and within ultra high molecular weight polyethylene joint components suggest that damage modes associated with polyethylene fatigue failure are caused by a combination of surface and subsurface crack propagation. Fatigue crack propagation tests unde
Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) was irradiated in air with high-energy (9 MeV), pulsed electron beams to doses ranging from 2.5 to 100 Mrad and subsequently heat treated at 120Β°C for a time period of 120 min. Surface characterization of the target side of irradiated UHMWPE samples
