In Part 2 of a study of welding of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), experiments were conducted to measure the interfacial fracture energy of butt welds, for various welding times and temperatures above the melting point. Their tough... Read More about The integrity of welded interfaces in ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene: Part 2 - Interface Toughness..

The difficulty of eradicating memory of powder–particle interfaces in UHMWPE for bearing surfaces for hip and knee replacements is well-known, and ‘fusion defects’ have been implicated frequently in joint failures. During processing the polymer is fo... Read More about The integrity of welded interfaces in ultra high molecular weight polyethylene: Part 1 Model.

A study was made of yield and plastic flow in glassy polystyrene. A range of 12 linear atactic polystyrenes was studied: monodisperse, bimodal blends, and a polydisperse commercial sample. Mn varied between 66,000 and 490,000 g/mol. These were given... Read More about Plastic deformation of glassy polystyrene : a unified model of yield and the role of chain length.

Anisotropic plastic deformation of glassy polymers with process-induced molecular orientation (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Buckley, C., & Wu, J. (2003, July). Anisotropic plastic deformation of glassy polymers with process-induced molecular orientation. Presented at 19th Annual Meeting of the Polymer Processing Society, Melbourne, Australia

The constitutive modelling of glassy thermoplastics is extended to the case of anisotropy arising from processinduced molecular orientation. The basis of the work is the Glass-Rubber model framework, known to capture well the constitutive response of...

Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) bearing surfaces in knee and hip prostheses are frequently manufactured by direct compression moulding of the as-polymerised powder. A study was made of the important role of the temperature–time sequ...

A problem in applications of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is the tendency for components to contain fusion defects, arising during processing of the as-polymerized powder. These defects have been implicated previously in failures... Read More about Processing of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene : modelling the decay of fusion defects.
