PEEK COMPOUND
PEEK (Polyetheretherketone)
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is an aromatic, semi-crystalline linear thermoplastic polymer developed from bisphenol salts and aromatic dihalides via nucleophilic substitution. This chemical structure provides the material with stability at high temperatures (exceeding 300 °C), resistance to chemical and radical damage, greater strength (on a per mass basis) and compatibility with reinforcing agents such as glass and carbon fibers.. PEEK has a wide range of applications, including automotive, electronics, aircraft, turbine blades and medical field. In the medical field, PEEK is used in orthopedic treatments, cardiac operations, maxillo-facial surgeries, spinal operations and cranioplasty. Additionally, PEEK serves as an essential high-performance dental material, with applications in oral implants, prosthodontics and orthodontics. In vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated the biocompatibility of PEEK.
Property
- High temperature resistance
- Resistance to radiation and chemicals
- Low water absorption rate
- Long service life
- Creep-resistant
- High strength-to-weight ratio
Application
PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone) has diverse applications ranging from automotive, electronics, aerospace to fan blades and medical fields. In medicine, PEEK is used in bone surgery, heart surgery, jaw surgery, and spinal surgery. Additionally, PEEK is a highly efficient dental material used for dental implants, dentures, and orthodontic treatments. Studies conducted in both test tubes and the human body demonstrate that PEEK is biocompatible.
