Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Sonia B Wahed"
- Sonia B Wahed's recent research focuses on the development of functional composites made from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) for biomedical applications, specifically targeting ligament reconstruction such as the restoration of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).
- The study highlights the challenges of selecting suitable biomaterials for implants, emphasizing the benefits of UHMWPE due to its biocompatibility and impressive wear resistance, making it a prime candidate for synthetic grafts.
- Findings from the research indicate that synthetic UHMWPE not only possesses high tensile strength but also shows promise in improving outcomes in orthopedic applications, particularly in knee and joint prosthesis technologies.
