Manufacturing Process Innovation Through Design of Experiment for UHMWPE Powder Consolidation Using Autoclave Processing
ABSTRACT UHMWPE has been a material of choice for orthopedic surgeons in treating joint‐related problems since its introduction by Sir John Charnley in the 1960s. However, the high melt flow index of the material makes it difficult to process using conventional techniques of polymer processing. Thus, developing a new p...
