Evaluation of Cytocompatibility of PEEK-Based Composites as a Function of Manufacturing Processes
The biocompatible polymer polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a suitable candidate to be part of potential all-polymer total joint replacements, provided its use is associated with better osseointegration, mechanical performance, and wear resistance.
