Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has long occupied the top tier of engineering polymers. What has changed in recent years is not the core chemistry but the way the material is being positioned and ...

Finger implants, such as these, feature PEEK-on-PEEK articulating surfaces. The material may reduce the risk of wear particles accumulating in the body. Each year, approximately 1.4 million joint ...

Interstate Advanced Materials published a new technical white paper to help engineers and manufacturers evaluate PEEK for high-temperature environments. A major emphasis is placed on performance ...

Figure 1. (click to enlarge) Available in tape or rod form, carbon-fiber composites are increasingly being used in place of metals for implants. The basic mechanical principles behind implants used ...
