Engineering thermoplastics have also been used in preimpregnated constructions. The thermoplastic is thoroughly dispersed as a continuous phase in glass, other resins, carbon fibers (qv), or other reinforcement. Articles can be produced from these constructions using thermoforming techniques. For example, the aerospace industry uses polyetheretherketone (PEEK) in woven carbon-fiber tapes (26). Experimental uses of other composite constructions have been reported (27) (see also COMPOSITE MATERIALS, POLYMER-MATRIX). 

Galvanic corrosion of polyacrylnitrile (PAN) and pitch-based short carbon fibers in polyetheretherketone (PEEK) composites were studied by Gebhard et al. [40]. Galvanic corrosion of carbon-fiber compounds can occur in contact with a steel electrode. The effects ranged from initial breakdown and cracking, to complete dissolution.

However, some other orthopedic implantable medical devices including carbon fiber have shown successful results. Carbon-fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) has been reviewed by Li et al. [13] to assess properties, technical data, and safety in orthopedic applications. CFR-PEEK may be an ideal material as it has a modulus very similar to bone and an ability to withstand prolonged fatigue strain. It can also be manufactured to match the modulus of both cortical and cancellous bone densities. This review shows no breakdown over time, while CFR-PEEK is readily accepted by the body. One reported study done by Steinberg et al. [48] makes a comparison between commercially available devices and CFR-Peek substitutes for wear/debris. The wear/debris was assessed based on the amount of the debris generated...

The major drawback of carbon-fiber thermoplastic composites is their low-temperature resistance.PH ] However, recently developed thermoplastic polymers have much higher temperature resistance and are being considered as matrices for continuous-fiber composites. These polymers include polyethersulfone (PES), polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and polyphenyl sulfide (PPS). 1 1 PEEK in particular has excellent potential since it is less brittle than the epoxies and provides a tougher composite (see Table 9.5 below).
