Résumé

UHMWPE is the material of choice for bearing surfaces in total joint arthroplasty making its wear and mechanical properties important factors of contribution in longevity of prosthetic hip/knee implants. In this study, the variation of hardness and elastic modulus with applied load in textured UHMWPE has been investigated. Texture has been induced through uniaxial tension of UHMWPE modifying its microstructure which in turn influences the wear resistance and hence the mechanical properties of the material. Previous studies have shown hardness to be a major factor influencing wear resistance. However, recently, the ratio of hardness (H) to elastic modulus (E) has been recognized as a more influential parameter of wear resistance. The validity of predicting wear resistance using H/E ratio has been examined in this work. Power law variation with load for the bioimplant material UHMWPE has been investigated at different strain levels. It has been observed that power law exponent of 2 can only be achieved at higher load levels. Overall, this work provides an insight into influencing the properties of bioimplant material UHMWPE by modifying the microstructure of the material through inducing texture which ultimately affects the longevity of the prosthetic implants.
