Rapid Analyses of Polyetheretherketone Wear Characteristics by Accelerated Wear Testing with Microfabricated Surfaces for Artificial Joint Systems
Wear particle-induced biological responses are the major factors resulting in the loosening and then failure of total joint arthroplasties. It is feasible to improve the lubrication and reduce the wear of artificial joint system. Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is considered as a potential bearing material due to its mechanical characteristics of resistance to fatigue strain. The PEEK wear particle...
متن کاملWear mechanisms in microfabricated ball bearing systems
Microfabricated ball bearings have been demonstrated successfully in a number of microsystems, although a complete understanding of their tribological properties remains elusive. This paper investigates the wear mechanisms for a microfabricated ball bearing platform that includes silicon and thin-film coated silicon raceway/steel ball materials systems. Adhesion of ball material, found to be th...
متن کاملEffects of Gamma Irradiation and Accelerated Aging on Wear Properties of UHMWPE Artificial Joint
Oxidative degradation of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE; PE), due to gamma irradiation sterilization in air, increases wear rate in artificial joint. Not only adhesive and abrasive wear but also delamination (flaking), a typical wear of the PE component in artificial knee joint, and fracture could be observed. This paper deals with gamma-irradiation effects on severe wear mech...
متن کاملAccelerated wear testing of PTFE composite bearing materials
Hertzian line contact stresses between a rotat ing metal cy l inder and a reciprocating f lat str ip of the bearing material are used in an accelerated wear test described in this paper. The test readi ly demonstrates differences in the wear behaviour between d i f ferent PTF E-based dry bearing materials. For one widely-used woven PTFE f ibre composite, the relat ionships between wear and stre...
متن کاملThe Biologic Response to Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) Wear Particles in Total Joint Replacement: A Systematic Review
BACKGROUND Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and its composites are polymers resistant to fatigue strain, radiologically transparent, and have mechanical properties suitable for a range of orthopaedic applications. In bulk form, PEEK composites are generally accepted as biocompatible. In particulate form, however, the biologic response relevant to joint replacement devices remains unclear. The biolog...
