Since the volume of creep deformation was significantly greater than that of true wear, the differences in the volumetric wear among the three materials for the 3-mm thick disks as well as that between untreated CLPE and PMPC-grafted CLPE for the 6-mm thick disks (which exhibited large creep deformation) might not be significant.
