The sliding wear of UHMWPE against ceramics in solutions containing proteins

The sliding wear behaviour of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) sliding against partially stabilised zirconia (PSZ) and alumina ceramic counterfaces in various lubricating media was investigated. Wear tests were conducted in order to investigate the effect that the addition of protein...
