Multi-scale digital image correlation analysis of in situ deformation of open-cell porous ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene foam
Porous ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is a high-performance bioinert polymer used in cranio-facial reconstructive surgery in procedures where relatively low mechanical stresses arise. As an alternative to much stiffer and more costly polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) polymer, UHMWPE i...
