dc.description.abstract	This project work is areview of the experimental techniques that can be applied to ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), which is commonly used in total joint replacement (TJR).The limitations of these techniques caused by the inherent properties of the material or the instruments for characterization are discussed.The friction, wear and mechanical properties of UHMWPE as a function of polymer crystallinity in both micro and nano scale are reviewed.	en_US
