Advances in the processing, sterilization, and crosslinking of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene for total joint arthroplasty.

Development of an extremely wear-resistant ultra high molecular weight polyethylene for total hip replacements.

In recent years, several new solid lubricant and modern lubrication concepts have been developed to achieve better lubricity and longer wear life in demanding tribological applications. Most of the traditional solid lubricants were prepared in the form of metal, ceramic and polymer-matrix composites. They have been used successfully in various engineering applications. Recent progress in thin-film deposition technologies has led to the synthesis of new generations of adaptative, self-lubricating coatings with composite or multilayered architectures, by using duplex/multiplex surface treatments. These modern self-lubricating coatings progressively make their way into the commercial marketplace and meet the ever-increasing performance demands of more severe applications. The present paper reviews our recent understanding of the lubrication mechanisms of both traditional and new solid lubricants, with particular emphasis on solid lubricant methods and practices.

Historical developments and new trends in tribological and solid lubricant coatings.

Mechanical properties of high density polyethylene/carbon nanotube composites

In recent years, great strides have been made in the formulation of solid lubricant coatings for a wide range of industrial applications These coatings are now available in nano-structured and/or -composite forms to provide better performance and durability even under very severe sliding conditions By coupling these coatings with smart surface engineering strategies (such as micro-texturing and/or -patterning), researchers have achieved higher levels of performance and durability in demanding tribological applications Some of these advanced coatings are now commercially available and can meet the ever-increasing performance and durability requirements of severe tribological applications This paper will provide a historical overview of recent developments in solid lubricant coatings and will expand on the lubrication mechanisms of both traditional and new solid lubricants Special emphasis will be placed on modern practices that are aimed at enhancing the properties of these coatings and expanding their uses in practical applications
