METHOD OF IMPROVING WEAR RESISTANCE OF POLYMERIC MATERIAL FOR ARTIFICIAL JOINT AND APPARATUS THEREOF

摘要

PURPOSE: A method and an apparatus for improving abrasion-resistance of a polymer material for an artificial joint are provided to efficiently inject ions into the surface of a material regardless of the shape of the material using a high-voltage pulse synchronized with a pulse magnetron sputtering deposition source. CONSTITUTION: An apparatus for improving abrasion-resistance of a polymer material for an artificial joint comprises a vacuum tank(1), a plasma generating gas induction device(8), a solid ion plasma generator, and a sample mounting stand(7). The plasma generating gas induction device is installed in the vacuum tank. The solid ion plasma generator uses a magnetron sputtering deposition source(4) installed inside the vacuum tank. The sample mounting stand is installed to be separated from the solid ion plasma generator.
