Effect of Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) Radiation and EUV Induced, N<sub>2</sub> and O<sub>2</sub> Based Plasmas on a PEEK Surface’s Physico-Chemical Properties and MG63 Cell Adhesion

Effect of Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) Radiation and EUV Induced, N<sub>2</sub> and O<sub>2</sub> Based Plasmas on a PEEK Surface’s Physico-Chemical Properties and MG63 Cell Adhesion

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK), due to its excellent mechanical and physico-chemical parameters, is an attractive substitute for hard tissues in orthopedic applications. However, PEEK is hydrophobic and lacks surface-active functional groups promoting cell adhesion. Therefore, the PEEK surface must be...
