Plasma ion implantation enabled bio-functionalization of PEEK improves osteoblastic activity
Slow appositional growth of bone in vivo is a major problem associated with polyether ether ketone (PEEK) based orthopaedic implants. Early stage promotion of osteoblast activity, particularly bone nodule formation, would help to improve contact between PEEK implantable materials and the surrounding...
