Graphene Oxide/Ultrahigh Molecular Weight Polyethylene Composites: Ball-Milling Preparation Mechanical Performance and Biocompatibility Effects
Graphene oxide (GO)/ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) composites were successfully fabricated through the mechanical ball milling technology and processed according to the hot pressing method. The fractured microstructure features and mechanical properties of the GO/UHMWPE composites were investigated by Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and universal testing machine, respective...
متن کاملA Multicenter Approach Evaluating the Impact of Vitamin E-Blended Polyethylene in Cementless Total Hip Replacement
Since polyethylene is one of the most frequently used biomaterials as a liner in total hip arthroplasty, strong efforts have been made to improve design and material properties over the last 50 years. Antioxidants seems to be a promising alternative to further increase durability and reduce polyethylene wear in long term. As of yet, only in vitro results are available. While they are promising,...
متن کاملGraphene nanoplatelet-induced strengthening of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene and biocompatibility in vitro.
Graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) are added as reinforcement to ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) with an intended application for orthopedic implants. Electrostatic spraying is established as a potential fabrication method for synthesizing large-scale UHMWPE-GNP composite films. At a low concentration of 0.1 wt % GNP, the composite film shows highest improvement in fracture toughnes...
متن کاملNotch fatigue of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) used in total joint replacements.
Ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) has remained the primary polymer used in hip, knee and shoulder replacements for over 50 years. Recent case studies have demonstrated that catastrophic fatigue fracture of the polymer can severely limit device lifetime and are often associated with stress concentration (notches) integrated into the design. This study evaluates the influence of no...
متن کاملSynthesis of high molecular weight polyethylene using FI catalyst
A FI Zr-based catalyst of bis[N-(3,5-dicumylsalicylidene)-2′,6′diisopropylanilinato]zirconium(IV) dichloride was prepared and used for polymerization of ethylene. The effects of reaction conditions on the polymerization were examined in detail. The increase in ethylene pressure and rise in polymerization temperature up to 35 oC were favorable for catalyst/MAO to raise the catalytic activity as...
