## Abstract Photo‐induced graft polymerization of 2‐methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) on cross‐linked polyethylene (CLPE) has been developed as a novel technology for reducing wear of orthopaedic bearings. In this study, the effect of MPC concentration on graft polymerization and the res
