Modifications by γ irradiation of polyethylene at very high molecular weight. Tribological behaviour for orthopedic applications

Creators

Description

A new mode of sterilization by vacuum gamma irradiation is studied. This new mode improves significantly the polyethylene behaviour during the study in friction-corrosion against a stainless steel-316L sphere. (N.C.)
