## 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 The wear rate of ultrahigh molecular weight (UHMW) polyethylene over a long campaign of sliding distance is not constant. Both unfilled and graphite filled polyethylene show a high rate early, which reduces to a low value. The graphiteβfilled product shows a late stage increase in wear
## Abstract The effects of radiation sterilization on ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene were explored by freeze fractures, electron spin resonance, absorption of aqueous media, density measurements, smallβangle and wideβangle xβray scatter, differential scanning calorimetry, infrared and ultr
