A novel method to eliminate the influence of absorbed lipids on the characterization of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy
{{output}}
Background: Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) is one of the standard methods to analyze ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) in orthopedic implants. For retrieved components, lipid extraction using an or... ...
