Tribological investigation of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene against advanced ceramic surfaces in total hip joint replacement
The aim of the study was to investigate whether a modified ceramic head surface could reduce the friction and wear rate of simulated ceramic-on-polyethylene hip joints. To address this aim, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) was made to slide on aluminium oxide (Al2O3), dimpled Al2O3,...
