Abstract:Debris formation is a crucial aspect that determines the lifespan of prosthetic joints. The wearing contact between ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and a Ti alloy surface has been studied in the literature. However, when measuring mass loss, potential errors can arise due to the very small values involved (on the order of some units of 0.1 mg in experiments lasting several hours) and be caused by the absorption of humidity in the specimen, in addition to the lack of accuracy typical of weight… Show more
