Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) materials have played a significant
role in the field of reconstructive surgery, particularly as acetabular liners/sockets for total hip …

A ball-on-disk tribometer was employed to evaluate the lubrication performance and
mechanisms of innovative TiO 2 nano-additive water-based lubricants. Two experimental …

The artificial joint acetabular material ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE)
was reinforced with carbon fibers (CF) in different contents. The effects of CF content on …

The effects of introducing glass fiber (GF) and/or carbon fiber (CF) filler materials on the
friction and wear characteristics of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) …

Pin-on-disk dry sliding wear tests at sliding speeds ranging from 0.6 to 1.25 m/s and under
loads ranging from 3.98 to 6.37 MPa (50–80N) were conducted for pin specimens of …

Local delivery of pain medication can be a beneficial strategy to address pain management
after joint replacement, as it can decrease systemic opioid usage, leading to less side and …

In this paper the tribological behaviors of PTFE against GCr15 steel in air, distilled water,
sea water and 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution were comparatively investigated. The influence of sea …

Abstract Titanium alloys (Ti-6Al-4V) are promising materials as bone implants in clinical
surgeries owing to their excellent performances. However, wear debris caused by the …

This is a comparative study between ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE)
reinforced with micro-zinc oxide (ZnO) and nano-ZnO under different filler loads. These …
