   Abstract : Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) has been used as a ski sole material for many years due to its good tribological properties, good wear resistance and low friction coefficient. Recent studies have showed improved performance on wear rate and hydrophobicity with nanoparticle reinforced UHMWPE. READ MORE
