Corrosive Wear of Ti-6AI-4V Coupled With Ultrahigh Molecular Weight Polyethylene.
Failure of metals is due to one of three phenomena: fracture, corrosion, or wear. When two of these principal factors couple to form corrosive wear, a very serious and complicated problem arises. Corrosive wear occurs in a wide range of situations from massive industrial machinery to the delicate …

The sliding wear of UHMWPE against ceramics in solutions containing proteins
The sliding wear behaviour of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) sliding against partially stabilised zirconia (PSZ) and alumina ceramic counterfaces in various lubricating media was investigated. Wear tests were conducted in order to investigate the effect that the addition of …

Polymerization and Isomerization of Olefins using Late-Transition Metal Complexes
… polymerization catalyst. The catalyst produced ultrahigh-molecular weight polyethylene and had a turnover frequency that is equivalent to the most active late-transition metal olefin polymerization catalysts. However, a short lifetime was observed and polymerization must be performed at room …

Processing and Characterization of Nanocomposite Fibers and Nanofibers for Structural and Biomedical Applications
… Hybrid nanocomposite fibers from a blend of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), with Nylon-6 as a secondary polymer phase, combined with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) were fabricated using a solution spinning process. Polyethylene-graft-Maleic Anhydride (PE-g-MAH) was …

Micromechanisms of polymer sliding wear
… made concerning the tribological behaviour of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) during water-lubricated reciprocating sliding wear. The experimental work has been extended to study also the effect of molecular weight, fillers, lubrication, counterface roughness and sliding …

The biocompatibility and characterization of aromatic thermosetting copolyester
… used to study of neat ATSP and ATSP blends with ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) for total joint arthroplasty. The results demonstrated that cells were able to attach to ATSP, and there was no indication of cell death [1]. Since these previous results looked promising, in this …
