Effects of electron-beam processing on the structure and mechanical properties of poly-ether-ether ketone (PEEK) were studied by XRD and tribological tests. An ambiguous change in the mechanical properties of the irradiated samples was found. In particular, the wear rate of sample 1 is higher than that of the unirradiated original sample, while it is lower for samples 2-7. Sample 4 had the lowest wear rate, and most likely the changes in the mechanical properties of the samples were due to the transformation of their amorphous component. Comparison of the X-ray spectra of the irradiated and unirradiated samples did not reveal any differences in their crystal structure.
