English abstract:
Changes in the crystalline and amorphous regions of implants made of medical grade ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (PE-UHMW) occur during manufacturing, radiation and in vivo use. In this study correlations between molecular and morphological structure and their impact on the mechanical properties are investigated.
German abstract:
Änderungen in den kristallinen und amorphen Bereichen von Implantaten, welche aus ultrahochmolekularem Polyethylen (PE-UHMW) hergestellt worden sind, treten während der Herstellung, der Bestrahlung und der Verwendung im Körper auf. In dieser Studie werden Zusammenhänge zwischen der molekularen Struktur sowie der Morphologie und deren Auswirkungen auf die mechanischen Eigenschaften untersucht.
Keywords:
