We report on < 2 μm spatial resolution investigations of structural and morphological uniformity aligned high-performance gel-spun ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers (thicknesses ranging from 60 to 300 μm) whose processing includes draw quench. The degree orientation PE crystallites were found increase near the surface fiber filaments (skin-core structure) in all samples wh...

CuAlS2  Chalcopyrite  nanocrystalline  are  synthesized  with  facile method.  The  heat  arrested  solvothermal  method  for  synthesize nanocrystalline  were  investigated.  The  time  duration  of  synthesis, temperature of solution and metal salts to solvent molar ratio can be parameters  that we are  studied. The nanoparticles were  synthesized with CuCl, AlCl3 and  thiourea (SC(NH2)2...

STUDY DESIGN This is a retrospective study comparing polyethylene wear between ceramic ball heads and metal ball heads in total hip arthroplasty. BACKGROUND The ceramic-on-polyethylene bearing option has been introduced as an alternative to metal-on-polyethylene to minimize polyethylene wear debris and reduce subsequent osteolysis and aseptic loosening. However, the reported data were debatab...
