Effect of Surface Crosslinking on the Wear and Friction Behavior of Tea Polyphenol Stabilized Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene for Total Joint Replacements

Effect of Surface Crosslinking on the Wear and Friction Behavior of Tea Polyphenol Stabilized Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene for Total Joint Replacements

Highly crosslinked ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) with vitamin E (VE) as an antioxidant is widely used for joint implants. VE helps resist oxidation but raises concerns about reduced crosslink density and wear performance. This research hypothesized that tea polyphenols (tPPs), su...
