Preparation, characterization, and feasibility study of Sr/Zn-doped CPP/GNS/UHMWPE composites as an artificial joint component with enhanced hardness, impact strength, tribological and biological performance.

ABSTRACT: In order to solve the problem of aseptic loosening of artificial joints resulting from the wear particles of artificial joint components in total joint replacement (TJR), we synthesized a new kind of metalo-organic particle (Sr/Zn-doped CPP/GNS) using spark plasma sintering (SPS) as a filler to enhance the comprehensive performance of UHMWPE. Sr/Zn-doped CPP/GNS was interfused evenly with UHMWPE particles and cured in a hot press instrument to prepare Sr/Zn-doped CPP/GNS/UHMWPE composites. FTIR and SEM were carried out to characterize Sr/Zn-doped CPP/GNS particles. EDS was carried out to characterize Sr/Zn-doped CPP/GNS/UHMWPE. The micro-structure, hardness, impact strength, tribology and bio-activities of Sr/Zn-doped CPP/GNS/UHMWPE composite materials were also investigated. The results c
