Characterization of New PEEK/HA Composites with 3D HA Network Fabricated by Extrusion Freeforming

Addition of bioactive materials such as calcium phosphates or Bioglass, and incorporation of porosity into polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has been identified as an effective approach to improve bone-implant interfaces and osseointegration of PEEK-based devices. In this paper, a novel production techniq...
