[0019] A method for preparing an ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene composite material for artificial joints of chimeric polymer macromolecular chains provided by the invention comprises the following steps:

[0020] 1. Put the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene powder in a benzophenone (5-20mg / ml) solution and let it stand in the dark for 5-40 minutes, and then dry it in a vacuum in the dark. The ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene powder is medical grade. The molecular weight is above 1.5 million, and the diameter is 13-270 μm;

[0021] 2. Add ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene powder coated with a photosensitizer on the surface to the monomer solution to be grafted, stir evenly, and irradiate with ultraviolet light for 10-90 minutes. After the irradiation, the powder is washed and dried, wherein the monomer The body has good biocompatibility, and can be acrylic acid, 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC), N-vinylpyrrolidone, acrylamide, ...

Embodiment 1

[0027]The ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene powder with a diameter of 270 μm was immersed in an acetone solution of benzophenone (10 mg / ml), allowed to stand for 5 min, and then dried in vacuum in the dark. Add the powder coated with the photosensitizer into the acrylamide monomer solution, place it on a magnetic stirrer and mix evenly, and irradiate with 500W ultraviolet light for 80 minutes in a nitrogen protective atmosphere to obtain superhigh Molecular weight polyethylene powder. The grafted powder material was washed with ethanol and dried in vacuum. Put the above powder material into the mold, under vacuum conditions (-0.1MPa), 190°C, hot pressing pressure 12MPa, heat preservation and pressure holding for 1.5h, cooling and demoulding to take out the sample.

[0028] A pin-on-disc friction tester was used to test the tribological properties. Under normal saline lubrication conditions, the friction coefficient of the samples decreased from 0.054 before grafting t...

Embodiment 2

[0030] The ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene powder with a diameter of 100 μm was immersed in a diethyl ether solution of benzophenone (5 mg / ml), allowed to stand for 20 min, and then dried under vacuum in the dark. Add the powder coated with the photosensitizer into the acrylic acid monomer solution, place it on a magnetic stirrer, stir and mix evenly, and irradiate with 500W ultraviolet light for 10 minutes in a nitrogen protective atmosphere to obtain an ultra-high molecular weight polymer grafted with acrylic acid macromolecular chains. vinyl powder. The grafted powder material was washed with ethanol and dried in vacuum. The above powder material and pure ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene block are layered into the mold, under vacuum conditions, 150 ° C, hot pressing pressure 7.5 MPa, heat preservation and pressure holding time 2.5 h. Cool and demould to take out the sample.

[0031] Using a pin-on-disk friction tester and a reciprocating friction tester, ...

Abstract

The invention discloses an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene composite material for artificial joints and a preparation method thereof. The artificial joint composite material is formed by embedding polymer macromolecular chains and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene powder, and is made of the composite material The artificial joint has uniformity as a whole. The polymer macromolecular chain embedded in it significantly improves the biocompatibility and tribological performance of the artificial joint, and reduces tissue reaction and aseptic loosening. The artificial joint prepared by the invention and the method has the characteristics of long-lasting low friction and wear resistance, and can prolong its service life.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene composite material for artificial joints with chimeric polymer macromolecular chains and a preparation method thereof, in particular to an artificial joint capable of maintaining good wear resistance under long-term friction and wear composite material. Background technique [0002] Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) has excellent comprehensive properties such as impact resistance, low temperature resistance, wear resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, and self-lubrication, and is currently widely used as an artificial joint material. Clinical experiments have found that the artificial joint composed of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene as the acetabular cup and femoral head parts made of hard materials such as metal will produce a large amount of wear debris during long-term use, especially the acetabular cup. The polyethylene wear debris accumulates and in...
