Surface modification of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) for implant applications

Topographical modification of polymers can be utilised to control the cellular interaction without the underlying bulk material. In this study, polyetheretherketone (PEEK), a polymer used in clinical applications and a possible replacement to ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), has be...
