J-integral fracture toughness, Tearing modulus and tensile properties of Vitamin E stabilized radiation crosslinked UHMWPE

- We measured the toughness of Vitamin E stabilized, radiation crosslinked UHMWPEs.
- The tensile properties were affected by radiation crosslinking.
- J-integral fracture toughness and Tearing modulus decreased due to crosslinking.
- Post-radiation Vitamin E stabilization is superior to free radical melt-quenching.
