摘要
Following sterilization by gamma radiation, ultra high molecular weight polyethylene components for total joint replacement undergo oxidative degradation upon exposure to air and the in vivo environment. Oxidative degradation is accompanied by an increase in density. The primary objective of this study was to develop a mathematical model to predict the monotonic tensile mechanical behavior of these sterilized components as a function of changes in density arising from oxidative degradation. Tensile specimens of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene were sterilized with gamma radiation and then oxidatively degraded in an air furnace. The average density of each specimen was measured using a density gradient column. Differential scanning calorimetry and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were conducted on selected specimens to characterize the physical and chemical changes due to accelerated aging as opposed to ambient shelf aging. Mechanical testing was conducted in monotonic uniaxial tension. An exponential model was fitted to the true stress-strain data (up to a true strain of 0.12). The observed fitted stress had a correlation coefficient of 0.996. The model permits a quantitative prediction of the association between the true stress-strain curve and density for the ultra high molecular weight polyethylene components. The proposed exponential model effectively describes changes in the large-strain monotonic tensile behavior of as-irradiated and oxidatively degraded ultra high molecular weight polyethylene components.
