Abstract
The goal of the present study was determine tribological properties of selected newly developed polymer material compositions for endoprosthesis applications. The focus was on the modification of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. It was proposed to use a new composition of this material - a hybrid was created from irradiated material, which filled the matrix made by materials of much weaker strength parameters. Several models have been proposed that have been numerically tested using the finite element method. The best model was selected for a series of tribological tests. The tests were carried out in the slip-roll motion during lubrication simulating knee joint endoprosthesis work conditions. After the tribological tests were completed, the topography by scanning electron microscope was analyzed. The research has shown impact material modification on the tribological properties. The proposed material compositions can be successfully used in the production of improved sliding elements of implants.
