PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for manufacturing a sliding member of an artificial joint by which a sliding member of an artificial joint, having a prolonged durable period can be manufacture, and to provided the sliding member of an artificial joint.SOLUTION: In a molding step of a step A1, an ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene material containing an antioxidant is molded to obtain a base material of a predetermined shape. In a polymer film forming step of a step A2, the obtained base material is irradiated with ultraviolet light while being immersed in a treatment aqueous solution containing a compound having a phosphorylcholine group, thereby a polymer film containing a polymer chain formed by polymerization of the compound having the phosphorylcholine group is formed on a surface of the base material.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】 耐用年数がさらに向上した人工関節用摺動部材を製造することができる人工関節用摺動部材の製造方法および人工関節用摺動部材を提供する。【解決手段】 工程A1の成型工程では、抗酸化剤を含有する超高分子量ポリエチレン材料を成型し、予め定める形状の基材を得る。工程A2の高分子膜形成工程では、得られた基材を、ホスホリルコリン基を有する化合物を含有する処理水溶液に浸漬させた状態で紫外線を照射し、基材の表面に、ホスホリルコリン基を有する化合物が重合した高分子鎖を含む高分子膜を形成する。【選択図】 図1
