Preserved Fulltext
PEEK can be modified by the incorporation of certain materials. For example, the incorporation of carbon fibers can increase the elastic modulus upto 18 Gpa. Nano-scaled reinforced PEEK is also available. The modulus of carbon-reinforced PEEK is comparable to cortical bone and dentin. Therefore, this polymer could exhibit lesser stress shielding properties compared to Titanium which is used as an implant material [8] . The various properties of PEEK are as follows:
