## Abstract Wear and wear debris of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) in joint replacements have been recognized as one of the major contributors to the failure of orthopedic implants. The detailed wear mechanism of polyethylene under biomechanic motions is not well understood. In si

Highly oriented gel-spun ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers possess many outstanding properties desirable for composite materials but their adhesion to such matrices as epoxy is poor. This article describes the combined effects of drawing and surface modification on the bulk and
The influence of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-containing additives on the sliding wear of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene/polypropylene (UHMWPE/PP) blend was investigated in this paper. At low sliding speed (200 rpm, 30 kg, 30 min), the friction property and wear resistance of UHMWPE/PP blend
