Abstract

Photo-induced graft polymerization of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) on cross-linked polyethylene (CLPE) has been developed as a novel technology for reducing wear of orthopaedic bearings. In this study, the effect of MPC concentration on graft polymerization and the resultant properties of the grafted poly (MPC) layer have been investigated. The grafted poly (MPC) layer thickness increased with the MPC concentration in feed. The hip simulator wear test confirmed that CLPE-g-MPC cups exhibited minimal wear compared with untreated CLPE cups. Since MPC is a highly hydrophilic methacrylate, the water-wettability of CLPE-g-MPC was greater than that of untreated CLPE due to the formation of a poly(MPC) nanometer-scale layer. The CLPE-g-MPC orthopaedic bearing surface exhibited high lubricity, because of the present of the poly(MPC) layer even at a thickness of 10 nm. This layer is considered responsible for the improved wear resistance. Nanometer-scale modification of CLPE with poly(MPC) is expected to significantly increase the durability of the orthopaedic bearings. Poly (MPC) layer thickness can be controlled by changing the MPC concentration in feed. In order to achieve nanometer-scale modification of poly(MPC) in this manner, it is necessary to use a long photo-irradiation time for the MPC graft polymerization system, which contains a high-concentration monomer without its gelation.
