Effect of hygrothermal aging on the tribological behavior of HDPE composites for bio-implant application

High density polyethylene (HDPE) is a material which was known for its biocompatibility and its application for artificial joints. However, the wear resistance of a HDPE can be enhanced with addition of reinforcements. Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), cuttlebone (CB) and red coral (RC) are auspicious re...
