Conventional UHMWPE molding involves long pressure holding duration, nevertheless in the presence of filler such as cellulose nanofiber (CNF), this may contribute to filler degradation. This study optimized the compression molding parameters of UHMWPE/ CNF bio-nanocomposite by using response surface...
