Soft gasket-like polymer films may provide multiple advantages in inhibiting fretting corrosion between metal-hard surfaces in total joint implants. Self-reinforced composites (SRC's) made from either poly(ether ether ketone), SRC-PEEK, or ultra high molecular weight polyethylene, SRC-PE, were fabricated and tested to investigate their ability to limit or prevent mechanically assisted corrosion in modular taper devices. Hot compaction was used to create nominally 100 μm thick unidirectional composite gaskets. These gaskets were plac
