A laboratory tribometer study compared wear behavior of 316L stainless steel and TiO2-reinforced PEEK composite under simulated oral conditions.
The PEEK composite achieved a significantly lower coefficient of friction (0.094 ± 0.004 vs. 0.32 ± 0.03) and approximately 1.6 times lower specific wear rate (9.07 × 10⁻⁶ vs. 1.45 × 10⁻⁵ mm³N⁻¹m⁻¹) compared to stainless steel.
