摘要: Scanning probe methods have been utilized to reveal useful information regarding the tribological phenomena of total joint replacement materials. In particular, studies on effect synovial fluid constituents response polymeric materials and residual stresses fretting metallic are described. The show that an adsorbed layer proteins causes increase in friction behavior hydrophobic ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) owing denaturation upon adsorption. Changing crystallinity UHMWPE can affect ramifications formechanisms protein Studies ofmetallic (CoCrMo) implant showed significant plastic deformation metal may not be a prerequisite for oxide fracture. addition, results suggest nearly neutral boundary lubricants provide protection against onset fretting. Finally, chapter concludes with outlook how scanning used greater insight into design biomaterials.
