Özet
This study explores the alternative polymer materials and selection process for joint implant liners, focusing on applying CES Selector software to identify suitable polymer materials. CES Selector provides an easy-to-use interface. It offers multiple selection methods, including boundary values and property constraints. Seven materials were excluded from the analysis, resulting in 19 potential candidates, including unconventional options like EVOH, PCTA, PESU, PI, PPA, PPC, PPSU, and PSU. The materials underwent evaluation based on key criteria, including tensile strength, Young's modulus, compressive strength, fatigue strength, and fracture toughness. Overall, TPU exhibited a remarkable combination of high mechanical strength and adaptable Young's modulus, making it a top contender. However, in other evaluation criteria, PI surpassed TPU, solidifying its potential as a superior choice. This systematic approach provides valuable insights for engineers and designers seeking innovative materials for joint implant liners. The study results broaden the range of materials used in implant manufacturing, providing potential alternatives that offer better long-term durability and performance.
