A hip joint must not fail under heavy loads for 20 years or more. Finally, the bulk physical properties impact other aspects of performance. The dialysis membrane has a specified permeability, the acetabular cup of the hip joint must have high lubricity, and the intraocular lens has transparency and refraction requirements. To meet these requirements, design principles are borrowed from physics, chemistry, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, and materials science. Industrial Involvement.

The paper pointed out that polyethylene production using a new high pressure polymerization technique began in 1936. This process enabled the production of polyethylene free of initiator fragments and other additives. Ingraham et al. , a mild foreign-body reaction), and attributed these results to the high purity of the polymer they used. A 1949 paper commented on the fact that additives to many plastics had a tendency to “sweat out,” and this might be responsible for the strong biological reaction to those plastics (LeVeen and ­Barberio, 1949).
