In most cases, impact strength and wear resistance are the two primary properties needed for orthopedic joint replacement, and that is where ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) excels.

Accurate analysis of structural variants begins with isolating ultra-high molecular weight DNA. Obtaining high-quality UHMW DNA can present a challenge since sample collection, preservation, the DNA ...

Gar-Dur plastic parts, made from ultrahigh-molecular-weight (UHMW) polymer, are designed to function in corrosive and chemical environments, extreme cold, and where abrasion resistance is necessary.

Polymers as power transmission parts. There was a time when people sneered at “plastic gears” – and bearings – figuring them Cracker-Jack box components, not considering the difference between a model ...
