Description

Crosslinking onset was investigated for ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) implanted with 2.6 MeV H+ ions at low doses from 6 x 1011--3 x 1013 ions/cm2. Crosslinking in the near surface region (20--40 microm) was determined from gel permeation chromatography (GPC) of 1,2,4 trichlorobenzene sol fractions and increased with dose. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) showed irradiation resulted in increased free radicals confirms from increased carbonyl groups. Hydrogen annealing after ion implantation resulted in 38--49% decrease in FTIR peak associated with carbonyl
