“…Tensile strengths of UHMWPE, UHMWPE with 40% NaCl, and UHMWPE/FANC 12.5 with 1% FANC 12.5 and 40% NaCl were 21.02 MPa, 17.1 MPa and 15.2 MPa, respectively. It is shown that tensile strength of UHMWPE/FANC 12.5 depends on the additional amount of FANC 12.5 and the porosity of UHMWPE/FANC 12.5 [ 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ]. When the additional amount of FANC 12.5 was relatively low, e.g., 1%, the decrease in tensile strength of UMWPE/FANC 12.5 was mainly due to the decrease in the orientation degree of the UHMWPE molecular chain caused by FANC 12.5 .…”
