Abstract
The article studied the friction and wear properties of UHMWPE when the surface was probed with micro-defect. The results indicated that the friction coefficient decreased when the micro-defect holes were gradually distributed on the friction surface uniformly. That was mainly because the uniform micro-defect holes formed regular texture, increasing the balance of friction and wear. The wear loss of UHMWPE decreased gradually with the increase of the amount of micro-defect holes, and there was a good linear relationship between them. When the friction surface was filled with uniformly distributed micro-defect holes, not only the wear loss decreased, but also wear debris with ideal size distribution was obtained. So, the theoretical and experimental basis was provided for the idea of the surface texturization of artificial arthrosis.
