Summary: | Disclosed is a bearing material of a medical implant. which is an ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHIMWPE) composite. The composite comprises. for example, UIIMWPE and a polyethylene copolymer having a polymer backbone 5 and pendant hydrophilic groups or pendant surface active agents that are attached to the polymer backbone. Also disclosed are methods for preparing bearing materials. The bearing material has one or more advantageous properties including reduced immune response. reduced wear, and/or increased lubrication. 22/IX/07. 16716 specilicniion,2 |
