Abstract
Poly aryl-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) is an alternative to metal alloys in orthopedic applications. Although the polymer provides many significant advantages such as excellent mechanical properties and non-toxicity, it suffers from insufficient elasticity and biocompatibility. Since the elastic modulus of diamond-like carbon (DLC) is closer to that of cortical bone than PEEK, the DLC/PEEK combination is expected to enhance the stability and...
