This study evaluates the resistance against multiple sterilization processes of radiolucent composite materials for use in medicine as an intraoperative imaging device material. The composite materials under investigation here are composed of carbon fibers, polyphenylene sulfide and polyetheretherketone matrix. The influence of multiple sterilization processes on changes in their mechanical and structural properties are determined. The radiolucency of the proposed composites is verified.
