Deposition of the hydroxyapatite particles on the polyether ether ketone surface for orthopaedic applications
Polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) has a similar elastic modulus close to bone and as a result it can be a suitable alternative material to metallic implants which generally have higher moduli. However, the bio-inertness of PEEK prevents it from integrating well with the surrounding tissues. Many efforts...
