Line 50:

In its solid state PEEK is readily machinable, for example, by ([[CNC]]) [[milling machines]] and is commonly used to produce high-quality plastic parts that are thermostable and both electrically and thermally insulating. Filled grades of PEEK can also be CNC machined, but special care must be taken to properly manage stresses in the material.

PEEK is a [[high-performance plastics|high-performance polymer]], but its high price, due to its complex production process, restricts its use to only the most demanding applications.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Yin |first=Jun |last2=Zhang |first2=Aiqing |last3=Liew |first3=Kong Yong |last4=Wu |first4=Lihua |date=2008-08-01 |title=Synthesis of poly(ether ether ketone) assisted by microwave irradiation and its characterization |url=https://doi.org/10.1007/s00289-008-0942-6 |journal=Polymer Bulletin |language=en |volume=61 |issue=2 |pages=157–163 |doi=10.1007/s00289-008-0942-6 |issn=1436-2449}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |url= https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33384878/|title=Polyetherketoneketone (PEKK): An emerging biomaterial for oral implants and dental prostheses |year=2021 |pmid=33384878 |last1=Alqurashi |first1=H. |last2=Khurshid |first2=Z. |author3=Syed AUY |last4=Rashid Habib |first4=S. |last5=Rokaya |first5=D. |last6=Zafar |first6=M.
