This Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) Phase I project addresses the need for affordable, durable thermoplastic composites for implantable prosthetics. Thermoplastic matrix composites such as carbon fiber-polyetheretherketone (CF-PEEK) have many desirable qualities for use in orthopedic composites including biocompatibility, high strength-top-with-ration and toughness. Composites with lower density are demanded for replacing metallic orthopedic prostheses. Societal benefits from replacing metals with lightweight and more physiologically compatible composites are enormous.The benefits to morphology-controlled CF-PEEK composites fabricated by simpler manufacturing methods include: higher transverse strength, higher damage tolerance, excellent physiological durability, and lower manufacturing costs. The broader impacts of this technology are cost reduction CF-PEEK composite manufacturing, which would allow a wider application of the composites in medical rehabilitative systems, the control and enhancement of composite mechanical properties, which may open up additional biomedical application, and the potential expansion of the technological process innovation to the aerospace industry.

这个小型企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目解决了植入式假肢对经济实惠，耐用的热塑性复合材料的需求。热塑性基体复合材料如碳纤维-聚醚醚酮（CF-PEEK）具有许多用于骨科复合材料的期望品质，包括生物相容性、高强度和韧性。要求复合材料具有更低的密度，以取代金属骨科假体。用轻质和生理相容性更好的复合材料代替金属对社会的好处是巨大的。通过更简单的制造方法制造的形态控制的CF-PEEK复合材料的好处包括：更高的横向强度、更高的损伤容限、优异的生理耐久性和更低的制造成本。该技术的更广泛的影响是降低CF-PEEK复合材料制造的成本，这将使复合材料在医疗康复系统中得到更广泛的应用，控制和增强复合材料的机械性能，这可能会开辟更多的生物医学应用，以及技术工艺创新对航空航天工业的潜在扩展。
