Processing and Tribological Behavior of Graphene Oxide Nanoplates Reinforced UHMWPE Composites
Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is the preferred bearing material for total knee arthroplasty, yet its limited service life (15–20 years) remains a clinical challenge. This study investigates graphene oxide (GO) nanoplatelets as reinforcing fillers to enhance the mechanical and tribological performanc...
