“…[ 22 – 24 ] There are many kinds of artificial joint prostheses that have certain advantages; however, there are also some insurmountable shortcomings such as electrolysis, corrosion, wear, loosening, bone absorption, sinking of metallic materials, aging, brittleness, and the toxicity of the materials. [ 25 – 28 ] Carbon fiber composite is a common material for joint replacement. [ 29 – 31 ] It has many advantages in artificial prosthetic manufacturing, such as high mechanical strength, fatigue resistance, good thermal stability, corrosion resistance, simple forming process, low cost, lightweight, transmission line, and several other attractive properties.…”

Objective: To investigate the efficacy and complications that might be associated with pyrocarbon compared with silicone in patients undergoing joint replacement surgery. Methods: The full-text papers about the clinical efficacy of pyrocarbon and silicone were retrieved from multiple databases. Review Manager version 5.0 was adopted for meta-analysis and analyses of sensitivity and bias. Results: Ultimately, we studied 232 patients across eight studies that met the eligibility criteria. The meta-analysis suggested a significant difference between the pyrocarbon and silicone groups in terms of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) score (standard mean difference (SMD) = 1.48; 95% CI [0.97, 1.99]; P = .009; P for Heterogeneity <0.00001; I 2 = 63%); Visual Analogue Score (VAS) (SMD = 1.68; 95% CI [1.36, 1.99]; P < .00001; P for heterogeneity = 0.01; I 2 = 61%), and the abnormal radiolucent line (RR = 6.66; 95% CI [3.19, 13.89]; P < .00001; P for heterogeneity = 0.87, I 2 = 0%); and ossification development (RR = 0.90; 95% CI [0.56, 1.44], P = .66; P for heterogeneity = 0.94, I 2 = 0%). Conclusion: This study showed that pyrocarbon might be an efficient material compared with silicone for joint replacement surgery, but resulted in poorer functional and pain outcomes compared with silicone.

Crosslinked polyethylene: A review on the crosslinking techniques, manufacturing methods, applications, and recycling

One of the most used resins in the plastics industry is polyethylene (PE).Although PE has good impact resistance and ductility, its low maximum use temperature and mechanical strength limit some commercial development, especially for load-bearing applications. To get better overall performances, crosslinking is performed to improve the chemical, mechanical, and thermal properties of PE. Although PE can be crosslinked by using various chemical and physical methods, this makes the resulting polymers more difficult to recycle since a three-dimensional (3D) network is created. In this review, we first describe the different crosslinking techniques for PE to manufacture crosslinked PE (XLPE) parts. Then, as more than half of the XLPE-based products are disposed directly after use, we present several options to reuse and recycle these products to overcome this environmental issue and find a sustainable solution. A focus is made on mechanical recycling and de-crosslinking techniques for XLPE to generate recycled-XLPE (r-XLPE). Finally, a conclusion is presented on the current situation and research gaps that must be filled by future works.

“…Although graphite shows promising potentials yet vast to be studied, the findings are rather unpredictable when mixing with another element as composite. The addition of different filler percentages into composites gives different bonding and dimensional stability (Digas 2005). Thus, different bonding gives different hardness and stiffness value.…”
