Standard Test Method for In Situ Determination of Network Parameters of Crosslinked Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE)

Importancia y uso:

5.1 This test method is designed to produce data indicative of the degree of crosslinking in ultra high molecular weight polyethylene that has been crosslinked chemically or by ionizing radiation.

5.2 The results are sensitive to the test temperature, solvent, and method used. For the comparison of data between institutions, care must be taken to have the same test conditions and reagents.

5.3 The data can be used for dose uniformity analysis, fundamental research, and quality assurance testing.
