A theoretical relationship was recently proposed relating the wear behavior of polymetric bearing materials articulating against hard counterfaces. 1 This model attempts to predict the influence of surface roughness on wear. Laboratory-based studies have been used to establish the validity of these

## 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
## Abstract Prosthetic joints appear to show a strong relationship between the type of relative motion and wear, requiring careful consideration in the design of wear simulators. This relationship was studied with a 12βstation pinβonβdisk device, specifically adapted for the wear simulation of pros
