Abstract

The feasibility of surface modification of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) using the novel plasma immersion ion implantation (PI³) was studied. The PI³ treatment shows much greater potential in enhancing the surface hardness, elastic modulus and sliding wear resistance of UHMWPE as compared to conventional plasma treatment.
