Introduction and Importance of Capturing and Separatation of Polyethylene Wear Debris

I found this manuscript a few weeks ago after noticing a news release about the topic and the first author Donna Meyer. Donna is an assistant professor at the University of Rhode Island in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics. She indicates her funding sources for this study to be NSF and NIH grants.
