Investigation on Oxidation of Shelf-Aged Crosslinked Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) and Its Effects on Wear Characteristics

Oxidation degradation of gamma-irradiated UHMWPE (Ultra-high Molecular Weight Polyethylene) is a well-known problem related to the failure of total joint replacement. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of oxidation on the mechanical and wear properties and to identify the main c...
