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...

Wear of Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene

The compressive response of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibres and composites

Measurements are reported for the compressive response of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibres and laminated composites loaded along the fibre direction. The compressive strength of the fibres was measured by both recoil tests and knot (or bend) tests. The strength of the fibres is governed by micro-kinking of the fibrils within the fibres. The recoil tests suggest that this...

Synthesis and Tribological Behavior of Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE)-Lignin Composites

In this paper, we report the synthesis and characterization of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE)-lignin composites. During this study four different compositions, namely UHMWPE, UHMWPE-13 wt. % lignin, UHMWPE-25 wt. % lignin and UHMWPE-42.5 wt. % lignin were fabricated by hot pressing. Detailed microstructural studies by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that UHMWPE and ...
