## 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 In this study, the friction and wear behavior of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) were evaluated as a function of polymer crystallinity in the presence of the phospholipid dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) dissolved in ethanol. Samples of UHMWPE were separately heat
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
The relative fatigue crack propagation resistance of plain and carbon fiber-reinforced ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) was determined from cyclic loading tests performed on compact tension specimens machined from the tibia1 components of total knee prostheses. Both materials were ch
The extent of recrystallization of nascent UHMWPE powder is easily measured by calorimetry. Melting and recrystallization of nascent UHMWPE at 140Β°C can be suppressed by compression molding. Crystals of UHMWPE prepared from dilute solution show a peak melting temperature of 140Β°C and exhibit crystal
