Abstract
The triboogical characteristics and the mechanics compress behaviors of pure and composite ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) were investigated using tribological apparatus and universal materials testing apparatus respectively. Results show that there are direct relationships between the sliding friction, wear characteristics, and compression behaviors of UHMWPE composite. The composite of UHMWPE with added copper particles had great improvement in tribological characteristics and mechanics behaviors. Based on the experimental results, a microstructure model of UHMWPE-copper composite is preliminarily proposed.
