## Abstract Wear of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is a limiting factor in longevity of joint replacements. Therefore, there is a desire to create new materials and enhance processing conditions associated with current materials to reduce wear. This requires understanding the eff
## Abstract Tribological properties of materials used in biomedical implants critically affect the performance of the implant. A UHMWPE cup paired with a ceramic ball is a popular combination for implants due to its relatively low wear rate. In this study we investigate the effect of surface roughn
