Effects of Major Components of Synovial Fluid on the Morphology and Wear Rate of Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) Particles under an Accelerated Wear Process

Wear particle-induced biological responses are the major factors for the failure of total joint arthroplasties, but it is possible to improve the lubrication and reduce the wear of an artificial joint system. Polyetheretherketone (PEEK), with ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, is a suitable b...
