      abstract = {This book presents a comprehensive, state-of-the-art  review of the latest progresses in UHMWPE biomaterials,  which has been critical for the performance and longevity  of joint implants. Oriented by clinical challenges to  UHMWPE-based joint implants, it introduces the processing,  crosslinking, structural manipulation, oxidation mechanism,  stabilization, drug delivery, and wear, as well as clinical  performance, biomechanics, and simulated studies of joint  implant based on UHMWPE with low wear, which are aimed to  tackle or minimize the adverse effect related to wear and  wear debris. These contributions provide fundamentals of  chemistry and physics of UHMWPEs to help understand the  clinical performances of UHMWPE based joint implants.  Perspectives to next generation UHMWPE to meet the unmet  challenges in clinical use are included.},
