Abstract

Thermoplastic polyethylene (PE), such as ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), is commonly used in industrial applications as bearing materials. UHMWPE has also been used effectively as a main ingredient in artificial knee and hip joint replacements due to its superior wear resistance and low friction surface properties. However, the wear debris produced during joint motions can cause osteolysis and implant loosening, contributing to the primary reason for joint revision. Many attempts have been made to increase the wear resistance of PE materials in order to extend the service life of the material. Carbon nanofibers, carbon nanotubes, nano-alumina, and nano-montmorillonite have all been used as suitable reinforcing materials to alter the tribological properties of PE. This article summarizes the current state of research in tribological studies of UHMWPE-based nanocomposites, focusing on UHMWPE nanocomposites, including nano-filler forms, fabrication methods, and tribological characterization approaches. The dependence of the tribological properties on nano-filler concentrations and modifications, as well as other tribological parameters, is summarized.
