Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is a relevant thermoplastic in industry and a well-proven standard biomaterial in joint replacements. To enhance its tribological properties while preserving its bulk ones, composite coatings on a UHMWPE substrate were prepared using non-functionalised graphene nanoplatelet (GNP) at reinforcement concentration of 0.1-5 wt% and two mechanical mixing techniques (ball mill or blade mixer) with different consolidation temperatures of 175-240 °C. Changes in morphology and size of the UHMWPE
