Sterilization by ionizing radiation has become, next to ethylene oxide treatment, the most important "cold" sterilization process for medical devices made from plastics. The effects of ionizing radiation on the most important polymer for medical devices, ultra-high molecular-weight polyethylene, are
## 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, smallโangle and wideโangle xโray scatter, differential scanning calorimetry, infrared and ultr
## Abstract The objectives of this study were to examine the effects of the processing conditions, sterilization, and thermal treatment on the morphological and mechanical properties of ultraโhighโmolecularโweight polyethylene (UHMWPE) in medical applications by means of thermal analysis, Fourier t
