The extent of recrystallization of nascent UHMWPE powder is easily measured by calorimetry. Melting and recrystallization of nascent UHMWPE at 140ยฐC can be suppressed by compression molding. Crystals of UHMWPE prepared from dilute solution show a peak melting temperature of 140ยฐC and exhibit crystal

The viscous behavior of the decalin solution of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMEPE) was studied. The influence of the concentration of polymer as well as the temperature was investigated. The flow curve can be described by the power-law model. The dependence of the viscosity on the temp
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
The static compressive creep behavior of ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) was studied under physiologic conditions. Specimens were machined from the center and periphery of extruded GUR 4150HP rod stock and were subjected to constant pressures of 2, 4, or 8 MPa for intervals as long
Fixation of polymeric implants, especially an ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) acetabular cup, to a host bone site has been a challenge since its first conception from the Charnley low friction total hip arthroplasty. Destabilization of the acetabular cup, similar to the well-documen
