The Effect of Sandblasting of UHMWPE Substrate on the Wear Resistance of Hydrogen-Containing Carbon Coating

Surface asperities were made on the surface of UHMWPE by sandblasting with sodium hydrogen carbonate abrasive in order to enhance the adhesion of hydrogen-containing carbon (HCC) coating to substrate. Sodium hydrogen carbonate abrasive was used because it easily solutes in hot water and the blasted...
