Hydroperoxides determination is the key factor to measure the level and the behavior of the oxidation (Carlsson et al. 1987b, Lacoste and Carlsson 1991, Shen, Yu, and McKellop 1999). Scientific studies and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) oxidation index standard (ASTM F2102) usually give the quantity of ketones and other carboxyl species present as an index of the oxidation degree. It must be pointed out that ketones, though a product of the oxidative process, do not produce polymeric chain scissions and so they do not result in substantial reduction of tiie UHMWPE mechanical properties. Quantification of ketones is reliable only if the ratio between ketones and carboxylic acids remains constant through the entire oxidative process.
