  2. Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene ( UHMWPE, UHMW) is a subset of the thermoplastic polyethylene. Also known as high-modulus polyethylene ( HMPE ), it has extremely long chains, with a molecular mass usually between 3.5 and 7.5 million amu. [1] The longer chain serves to transfer load more effectively to the polymer backbone by ...

  3. IPX 2000 Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (IPX 2000, IPX UHMW, IPX UHMW-PE, IPX-UHMW-PE) is an engineered polyethylene compound developed to maintain many traits of UHMW, while increasing abrasion resistance, UV stability and decreasing friction and thermal expansion.

  4. Feb 4, 2020 · Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) is used in biomedical applications due to its high wear-resistance, ductility, and biocompatibility. A great deal of research in recent decades has focused on further improving its mechanical and tribological performances in order to provide durable implants in patients.
