A comparative study on fretting wear and frictional heating behavior of PEEK composites for artificial joint applications

Fretting wear becomes one of most concerning issues in the clinical applications of artificial joints. Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and PEEK-based composites are promising alternative materials for polymer-on-metal joints. In this study, an experimental investigation is conducted to evaluate the fret...
