CAS Ningbo Institute of Material Engineering and Technology develops new polymer material for artificial joints stabilized by vitamin E

The material is based on ultra high molecular weight polyethylene stabilized by highly pure vitamin E which prevents destruction of bonds by liposome-activated polyethylene oxide. China’s potential demand for artificial joints is over 3 million units, but in 2013 the actual consumption was about 300,000 units.
