Destruction energy index (DEI) of vitamin E blended UHMWPE for artificial joints

Destruction energy index (DEI) of vitamin E blended UHMWPE for artificial joints

Destruction resistance such as start-up wear resistance characteristics of vitamin E (dl-α-tocopherol) blended ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) were evaluated using the destruction energy index (DEI). The DEI is used to evaluate wear-like destruction, by minimising the effects of vi...
