Studying the Effect of Zirconia & GNP on Mechanical, Tribological & Biological Properties of UHMWPE-HAp Nanocomposites used in Total Hip Joint Replacement, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Bagheri, Reza (Supervisor) ; Faghihi Sani, Mohammad Ali (Supervisor)
Abstract
Medical engineering advances in total joint replacements and society’s rising demand for long lasting materials, have proven it essential to manufacture materials that are more similar to the original tissue in the fields of mechanical, tribological and biological properties. Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene(UHMWPE), is a polymer widely used in arthroplasty applications due to its biocompatibility, chemical stability and proper mechanical properties. In this study, UHMWPE-HAp nanocomposites reinforced with Zirconia and Graphene were manufactured aiming to reach a structure that is more compatible with bone tissue and also to improve overall properties. First, using ultrasonication...
