Problems solved by technology

Although post-melting treatment can eliminate residual free radicals, high-temperature melting reduces the crystallinity of UHMWPE, resulting in secondary deterioration of mechanical properties (Oral, E. et al. Biomaterials 2006, 27, 917-925)
In order to avoid the above problems, irradiation before molding can be used, but the introduction of crosslinking points will limit the movement of molecular chains, further increase the melt viscosity of UHMWPE, and make processing more difficult

Abstract

The invention relates to a high-wear-resisting high-strength ultra-high molecular weight polyvinyl artificial articular material and a preparation method thereof. The high wear-resisting high-strength ultra-high molecular weight polyvinyl artificial articular material is prepared by melt blending and injection moulding of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and ultra-low molecular weight polyethylene (ULMWPE). The preparation method comprises the following steps of 1 irradiation-crosslinking UHMWPE preparation; 2 crosslinking UHMWPE / ULMWPE blend preparation; 3 vibrating-shearing injection moulding. According to the high-wear-resisting high-strength ultra-high molecular weight polyvinyl artificial articular material and the preparation method thereof, the wear-resisting performance of the UHMWPE is improved greatly by using the irradiation crosslinking technology, the melt viscosity of the crosslinking UHMWPE is reduced greatly by adding minute quantity of ULMWPE, and the melt machinability of the crosslinking UHMWPE is guaranteed; in the pressure maintaining stage of injection moulding, shearing flow field is introduced, a large number of reinforcing orientation lamella structures are induced to be generated, the mechanical performance of the material is improved greatly, residual free radical caused by irradiation in the UHMWPE is removed effectively, the oxidation stability of the material is improved, and the material is suitable for be used as boundary friction material of an artificial joint and is especially suitable for total knee prosthesis with higher demand of mechanical performance.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of biomedical polymer materials, and relates to a high-wear-resistant, high-strength, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene-based material and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Osteolysis caused by wear is an important factor affecting the life of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) artificial joint materials (Bozic, K.J. et al. The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery 2009, 91, 128-133; Kurtz, S. et al. Biomaterials 2000, 21, 283-291; Harris, W.H. Clinical Orthopedics & Related Research 1995, 311, 46-53). In order to improve the wear resistance, radiation crosslinking is usually used to reduce the plasticity of the material to reduce the wear rate, but this will bring about the loss of mechanical properties (Muratoglu, O.K. et al. Biomaterials 1999, 20, 1463-1470; Oonishi, H.et al. Journal of Biomedical Materials Research 2001, 58, 167-171). Deteriorated mechanical properties w...
