Notch Fatigue of Ultrahigh Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) used in Total Joint Replacements
CPG researcher Adam Kozak was a co-author on a recently published article in the Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials. Along with co-authors from UC-Berkeley (Ansari, Gludovatz, Ritchie, and Pruitt), these researchers investigated the sensitivity of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) to fatigue when stress concentration sites are present in the form […]
Trace Formaldehyde Detection
Formaldehyde, or CH2O, is commonly used in producing resins for coatings and adhesives, automotive materials, as well as materials for the textile industry. In these applications, the formaldehyde is normally incorporated into the material through a chemical reaction, and hence loses its chemical identity. Formaldehyde is also a by-product of some chemical reactions. Aqueous solutions […]
