Recently, ␥-irradiation of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) to high doses such as 1 MGy was shown by Oonishi et al. to be very effective in improving the wear resistance of UHMWPE. The present work was undertaken to characterize the UHMWPE irradiated with ␥-rays and electron beams to
