| Abstract: | The friction and wear behaviors of ultra‐high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE)/PI composite were investigated in a ring‐on‐block wear tester. Ti6Al4V alloy ring were selected as the counterbody in this study. It was found that the detachment of particles, ripples, and ploughs were observed under higher load. Plasma treatment efficiently improves the interfacial adhesion of UHMWPE/PI composite. Both the friction coefficient and wear increased with load, and the plasma treated one shows lower friction coefficient and wear. |
