The Influence of SBF on Surface Properties of Irradiated GO/UHMWPE Nanocomposites

Effects of reinforcements and gamma‐irradiation on wear performance of ultra‐high molecular weight polyethylene as acetabular cup liner in hip‐joint arthroplasty: A review

“…Its 2D lamellar structure limits the movement of polymer chain and impede large scale fragmentation 213 . Similar synergistic effect has been reported by Peipei et al, 214 wherein the excellent mechanical strength of GO and cross‐linking impact of gamma‐irradiation work together and hence increases the ball indentation hardness to 37.1 MPa which was 32.7 MPa for un‐irradiated UHMWPE‐GO and 22.5 for neat UHMWPE. Further the oxidation index (OI) of gamma‐irradiated UHMWPE/GO nanocomposite diffused with vitamin E showed 30% decreased OI (1.49) than neat U 215 .…”

Research into the thermal stability and mechanical properties of vitamin E diffusion modified irradiation cross-linked graphene oxide/ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene composites

“…Characterization of GO and the GO/UHMWPE composites was carried out as detailed in our preliminary study. [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] Aer that, some samples and VE solution were placed in beakers, and the beakers were placed in a drying oven to soak at 120 C for 24 h. Aer reaching the specied time, the samples were removed from solution and put in a drying oven at 120 C for 24 h for homogenization treatment, followed by cooling down and wiping off the excess VE.…”
