Abstract
In order to improve the wear and aging resistance of UHMWPE based polymer acetabular cup prosthesis, the hot-embossing method is used to prepare multi-component MWCNTs/ZnO added UHMWPE based composite materials in this article. The research results found that the diffusion characteristics of MWCNTs/ZnO additives in composite materials have a significant impact on their wear resistance. Under the condition of 25% NBS, the wear rate of the UMZ-3 sample was 13.94% lower than that of the pure U sample. Although MWCNTs can play a role in reducing friction to a certain extent, their high hardness characteristics may lead to the release of the composite material as a third body during friction. The optimization of heat transfer performance of MWCNTs/ZnO composite materials has alleviated the aging process to a certain extent and suppressed the softening phenomenon. Compared with the OI value of the pure U sample, which is in the range of 1.4–5.1, the OI value of the UMZ-3 sample is in the range of 2.62–3.06. In addition, the synergistic effect of MWCNTs/ZnO effectively inhibits the oxidation process while also having a positive impact on cell proliferation, demonstrating its potential as an additive to enhance the service life of polymer acetabular cups.
