“…However, as shown in Table, the amounts and sizes of particles have varied between the different studies (Howie et al 1988, Goodman 1994, Bobyn et al 1995, Dowd et al 1995, Frökjaer et al 1995, Goodman et al 1995, 1999, Kraemer et al 1995, Allen et al 1996, Aspenberg and Herbertsson 1996, Shanbhag et al 1997, Van Der Vis et al 1997, Kim et al 1998, Frökjaer et al 1999, Lalor et al 1999, Brooks et al 2000, Rahbek et al 2000, 2001, Bechtold et al 2001, Bi et al 2001b, Sundfeldt et al 2002. The time of introduction of the particles and the design of the studies also varied greatly.…”

“…Radiation sterilization of PE results in cross-linking, but recent research has focused on increasing the cross-linking and the wear resistance of PE by use of radiation of higher doses than used for sterilization (Lewis 2001). In vitro results have been promising, and a controlled randomized clinical 2-year follow-up study from our department evaluating cross-linked PE has demonstrated less penetration (measured by RSA), indicating less wear than conventional PE (Digas et al 2003).…”

“…Many papers have discussed the importance of interface sealing for implant survival (Schmalzried et al 1992a, Kraemer et al 1995, Emerson et al 1999, Lalor et al 1999, Rahbek et al 2000, 2001. Sealing off the interface in any cemented or uncemented orthopedic joint implant is probably vital for the outcome of the implant.…”

“…Several comprehensive reviews and theses on the topics of bone cement (Morberg 1991, Lewis 1997, polyethylene (Lewis 2001), wear particles (Campbell 1995, Bauer 2002) and aseptic loosening (Schwarz et al 2000a, Jacobs et al 2001) have been published. The aim of this article is to present an up-to-date review on the topic of aseptic loosening.…”

In recent decades, there has been an increasing interest in the use of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) in aerospace, renewable energy and other industries, due to its low weight and relatively good mechanical properties compared with traditional metals. However, due to the high cost of petroleum-based precursors and their associated processing costs, CF remains a specialty product and as such has been limited to use in high-end aerospace, sporting goods, automotive, and specialist industrial applications. The high cost of CF is a problem in various applications and the use of CFRP has been impeded by the high cost of CF in various applications. This paper presents an overview of research related to the fabrication of low cost CF using polyethylene (PE) control technology, and identifies areas requiring additional research and development. It critically reviews the results of cross-linked PE control technology studies, and the development of promising control technologies, including acid, peroxide, radiation and silane cross-linking methods.

A brief introduction to artificial hip joints is followed by a detailed review of both the biotribology of the bearing surfaces and the biological responses to the wear debris for evaluating their performances. Various types of artificial hip joints with different bearing surfaces are considered, including ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene against metal or ceramic; metal‐on‐metal and ceramic‐on‐ceramic. Future developments of artificial hip joints are discussed.
