 abstract={This study demonstrates the development of a unique hybrid thermoplastic composite using reduced Graphene oxide (rGO) content and Zirconia (ZrO2) nanoparticles into the Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) biomaterials for continuous loading conditions. Specimens with different loadings of rGO (0 to 1.5 wt.%) and ZrO2 (5 to 10 wt.%) were fabricated using liquid phase ultrasonication followed by the hot press moulding method. The samples were analyzed using Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Impact (Izod) testing, and Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA). The developed material feasibility was assessed using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) analyses. The findings revealed that the 1 wt.% rGO/5 wt.% ZrO2/UHMWPE sample improved the storage modulus by 66.15%, and the Impact absorbed energy by 11.33% compared to the pristine UHMWPE. The proposed nanocomposite could be endorsed for artificial joints, prostheses, and other Artificial Bio-Bearing (ABB) applications.},
