The invention describes a method for producing a polymer-based material consisting of a polyolefin matrix and silica particles as filling material, the silica particles being incorporated during the polymerization process. In addition, the uses of a polymer-based material for the production of joint implants in the medical-technical area as well as the use for the production of plain bearings, gears and other applications in the technical area are described. Furthermore, an artificial joint of a prosthesis is described in which the joint partners consist of metallic, polymeric and / or ceramic materials, at least one of the joint partners consisting of a polymeric material made of polyolefins with an addition of 1 to 50% by weight SiO 2 . |
