Abstract
A polymeric liner for joint implants includes at least one friction reducing member and at least one body member. The friction reducing member is made of a polymeric matrix which contains a polymeric material and at least one nanotube nanoparticle having a volume concentration of between 5%-99% v/v (volume per volume). The body member is formed of at least a polymeric material. The friction reducing member and the body member are conjoined preferably by compression molding or any other method of coupling such as mold injection, 3D printing, adhesion or any other suitable method can be applied. A method produces the polymeric.
