Influence of crystallization conditions on the tensile properties of radiation crosslinked, vitamin E stabilized UHMWPE

Radiation crosslinking for ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene results in improved wear resistance but a reduction in mechanical properties. Incorporation of vitamin E has been known to decrease the rate of oxidative degradation occurring through radiation crosslinking and prevents the need for...
