Abstract:The limitations of traditional metallic biomaterials motivated the development of polymer matrix composites to fabricate various biomedical implants. The wear resistance of the composites can be enhanced by modifying the surface properties, using a surface modification process to increase the components’ lifespan. Friction stir processing (FSP) is one of the best solid-state processing techniques for fabricating polymer composites. In the present study, a new, shoulderless tool has been developed to perform FS… Show more
