Figure 11.5 Photograph showing various examples of

dense and/or macroporous bioactive PAEK composites
of varying size and shape produced by compression
molding, compared with a commercial cervical spinal
fusion cage (upper left). All specimens comprised
PEEK (Invibio LT1) reinforced with 20 vol% calciumdeficient HA whiskers and were molded either fully
dense or with 75 vol% porosity using a sodium chloride
porogen (Fig. 11.4). Note that the dense beam at the
bottom has dimensions of 43 10 2.5 mm.
