## Abstract The effective drawability of solutionβcast or βspun high molecular weight polyethylene is enhanced significantly in comparison with an identical polymer sample that is crystallised from the melt. The maximum attainable draw ratio, which primarily determines the final mechanical propert
## Abstract Ultraβhigh molecular weight polyethylene components for total joint replacement chemically degrade before and after implantation, and the degradation is associated with an increase in density. The goal of this study was to determine the average rate of density change in these components
