The combined effects of crosslinking and high crystallinity on the micro structural and mechanical properties of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene

Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (PE) has been used for more than forty years as the bearing surface in total joint replacements. In recent years, there have been numerous advances in processing conditions that have improved the wear resistance of this material. In particular, crosslinking h...
