Abstract

The Depth Scanning of the Positron Implantation Profile method was employed to investigate the subsurface region in the ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene samples subjected to sliding against stainless steel in pin-on-disc tribotester or compressed. This method revealed a layer below the worn surface characterized by the lower value of the S-parameter than for the reference sample. The layer was extended to the depth of ca. 200 μm.
