Is Vitamin E Stabilised UHMWPE the Future Material for TKA? (2012)
Journal Article
Wu, J. (2012). Is Vitamin E Stabilised UHMWPE the Future Material for TKA?. Orthopaedic proceedings, 94-B(SUPP XL),

Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) has been the gold standard material of choice for the load-bearing articulating surface in knee joint prostheses. However, the application of joint replacements to younger (aged < 64 years) and more a... Read More about Is Vitamin E Stabilised UHMWPE the Future Material for TKA?.

Degradable emulsion-templated scaffolds for tissue engineering from thiol– ene photopolymerisation (2012)
Journal Article
Caldwell, S., Johnson, D., Didsbury, M., Murray, B., Wu, J., Przyborski, S., & Cameron, N. (2012). Degradable emulsion-templated scaffolds for tissue engineering from thiol– ene photopolymerisation. Soft Matter, 8(40), 10344-10351. https://doi.org/10.1039/c2sm26250a

Emulsion templating has been used to prepare highly porous polyHIPE materials by thiol–ene photoinitiated network formation. Commercially available multifunctional thiols and acrylates were formulated into water-in-oil high internal phase emulsions (...

A novel material combination of a large diameter Biolox® Delta zirconia-toughened-alumina (ZTA) head and a pitch-based carbon fibre reinforced poly ether–ether-ketone (CFR-PEEK) MOTIS® cup has been studied. The acetabular cups were inclined at three... Read More about Biotribological study of large diameter ceramic-on-CFR-PEEK hip joint including fluid uptake, wear and frictional heating.

Comparative ageing behaviour of commercial, unworn and worn 3Y-TZP and zirconia-toughened alumina hip joint heads. (2012)
Journal Article
Douillard, T., Chevalier, J., Descamps-Mandine, A., Warner, I., Galais, Y., Whitaker, P., …Wang, Q. (2012). Comparative ageing behaviour of commercial, unworn and worn 3Y-TZP and zirconia-toughened alumina hip joint heads. Journal of the European Ceramic Society, 32(8), 1529-1540. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jeurceramsoc.2012.01.003

There is a trend today to develop zirconia toughened alumina (ZTA) composites for orthopaedic applications. So far, there is limited data concerning their sensitivity to ageing, especially considering tests performed on implants produced on an indust...
