HyperMacs to HyperBlocks: A Novel Class of Branched Thermoplastic Elastomer (2009)
Journal Article
Hutchings, L., Dodds, J., Rees, D., Kimani, S., Wu, J., & Smith, E. (2009). HyperMacs to HyperBlocks: A Novel Class of Branched Thermoplastic Elastomer. Macromolecules, 42(22), 8675-8687. https://doi.org/10.1021/ma901819f

We demonstrate here the great versatility of the macromonomer approach for the synthesis of long chain hyperbranched polymers (HyperMacs) and describe the synthesis of HyperMacs from polybutadiene and poly(methyl methacrylate) using analogous yet mod...

Tribological and surface analysis of 38mm alumina–as-cast Co–Cr–Mo total hip arthroplasties (2009)
Journal Article
Williams, S., Wu, J., Unsworth, A., & Khan, I. (2009). Tribological and surface analysis of 38mm alumina–as-cast Co–Cr–Mo total hip arthroplasties. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part H: Journal of Engineering in Medicine, 223(8), 941-954. https://doi.org/10.1243/09544119jeim590

There is currently much discussion over the use of ceramic femoral components against metal acetabular cups, for use in total hip arthroplasty. The current study investigates six hot isostatically pressed alumina femoral heads of 38 mm diameter artic...

Numerical Prediction on Mechanical Contacts Vanguard Knee Joint replacements Tested in the Displacement-Controlled Prosim Simulator (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wang, Q., & Wu, J. (2009, May). Numerical Prediction on Mechanical Contacts Vanguard Knee Joint replacements Tested in the Displacement-Controlled Prosim Simulator. Presented at IMeChE Knee Arthroplasty: From Early Intervention to Revision, London

Exploring the mechanical environments in total knee replacements (TKR) has been indentified to be useful to understand the early failure of the prostheses. The severe damages observed on the retrieved polyethylene tibial component implicate that the...
