Review on Mechanical property Modification technique of Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) Composites

Abstract

Abstract-Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is one of the popular thermoplastic polymer due to its mechanical properties. The durability is very high under high temperature condition. Various modification have been done in PEEK matrix by incorporating different ceramics like SiC,SiO 2 , AlN, Zirconia, hydroxyapatite (HA), Al 2 O 3, addition of fibers like glass, carbon fibers, PTFE and its effects in the properties have been studied. Properties changes are made in the PEEK to increase its utility in tribological field and application in medical. This review summarizes the effect of the inclusion of the various materials and its effect on hardness, wear rate, tensile strength of PEEK.
