The changes of surface structure, induced by electron beam irradiation (EBI) on the surface of poly(aryl-ether-ether-ketone) (PEEK), were investigated by using a range of various experimental techniques, such as tribology, Raman, AFM, NMR, FTIR. The topography of the surface layers PEEK irradiated with electron beams was established by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The electron irradiation resulted in degradation of the structure and composition of the irradiated zone was determined and segregation of elements was studied.
