DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2019.01.047
Abstract: Periprosthetic osteolysis is a major cause of implant failure in total hip replacements. Aseptic loosening caused by osteolytic lesions is associated with the production of bioactive wear particles from the articulations of implants. Wear particles… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acsmacrolett.4c00660
Abstract: Cross-linked polyethylenes (PEs) are widely employed, but the permanent links between the chains impede recycling. We show that via imine formation with diamines keto-functionalized polyethylenes from both free-radical (keto-low-density PE, keto-LDPE) and catalytic (keto-high-density PE,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acsmacrolett.5c00313
Abstract: Cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) is a high-performance thermoset with improved thermomechanical properties compared to its parent linear polymer, polyethylene (PE). The covalent bonds linking PEX, however, prevent efficient recycling or reprocessing, which represents a critical liability… read more here.
