It is hypothesized that the combination of a highly active phosphino-phenolate nickel catalyst with polyethylene-insoluble solvent (heptane for example) can initiate an efficient precipitation polymerization process and enable the synthesis of UHMWPE.
Ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is the bearing surface of choice for total joint implants. We discuss the processing methods to prepare implants, the effect of methods such as sterilization on the properties of the material, and structure–property relationships in general.
Jul 13, 2017 · Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is the most common bearing material in total joint arthroplasty due to its unique combination of superior mechanical properties and wear resistance over other polymers.
ISO 5834-3: Implants for surgery—Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene-accelerated aging methods. This test describes a laboratory procedure for accelerated aging of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) specimens and components for total joint prostheses.
