Abstract

In this study, the irradiated ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) components doping with graphene oxide (GO) were immersed in simulated body fluid (SBF) environment at 37°C for 6 months, and their surface properties were studied by ball indentation, scratch, and wetting tests. The results show that both the irradiation cross-linking treatment and the addition of 0.5 wt % GO can increase the indentation hardness and scratching coefficient of the surface of UHMWPE composites, and wettability of it becomes better. After soaking in SBF, the ball indentation and scratch coefficient of irradiated GO/UHMWPE nanocomposites decreased by 12.4 and 10.0%, respectively. Which may due to a swelling action and the oxidative degradation occurred on the surface of GO/UHMWPE nanocomposites. However, irradiation cross-linking and filling with GO can prevent the macromolecules from penetrating into UHMWPE base material and materials, thereby reducing the rate of swelling and oxidative degradation.
