Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) for medical applications

Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Medicine, 2016
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a polyaromatic semi-crystalline thermoplastic polymer with mechanical properties favorable for bio-medical applications. Polyetheretherketone forms: PEEK-LT1, PEEK-LT2, and PEEK-LT3 have already been applied in different surgical fields: spine surgery, orthopedic surgery, maxillo-facial surgery etc.

Enhancing All‐Solid‐State Batteries Performance Through Thickness Control and Surface Passivation of Thermally Evaporated Lithium Metal Anodes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that thermally evaporated lithium anodes combined with LiF passivation provide a high‐performance thin anode design for next‐generation ASSBs. This approach increases the critical current density from 1.6 to 2.6 mA cm−2, enabling full cells to achieve over 500 and 300 cycles at 1.5 and 3 mA cm−2, respectively, outperforming even

Polyetheretherketone as a biomaterial for spinal applications

Biomaterials, 2006
Threaded lumbar interbody spinal fusion devices (TIBFD) made from titanium have been reported to be 90% effective for single-level lumbar interbody fusion, although radiographic determination of fusion has been intensely debated in the literature. Using blinded radiographic, biomechanic, histologic, and statistical measures, we evaluated a radiolucent ...

Alternating Shear Force of Respiration Regulates Cell Interactions of Fibroblasts and Macrophages to Promote Soft Tissue Integration of Chest Wall Polyetheretherketone Implants

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Given that PEEK chest wall implants induce shear force at the soft tissue‐implant interface due to respiratory motion in the early in vivo post‐implantation stage. We confirmed that this mechanical stimulus triggers the PIEZO1/ITGB1/YAP1 signalling axis in L929 and the STAT6/p‐STAT6 pathway in RAW264.7, which in turn mediates adhesion and migration of ...

Thin‐Film Thermal Sensors on Chitosan Substrates for Sustainable Transient Electronics

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Fully transient thin‐film temperature sensors are realized on pure chitosan substrates using Mo‐based RTDs and a‐IGZO/Mo thermistors. The devices exhibit high sensitivity, mechanical flexibility, humidity‐aware operation, and complete dissolution in natural solvents.

Augmenting the bioactivity of polyetheretherketone

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2016
Background Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) may be advantageous as an alternative material to metal alloys in some orthopaedic applications. However, it is bioinert and does not osseointegrate1. A novel accelerated neutral atom beam technique (ANAB) has been developed to improve the bioactivity of PEEK where the surface is modified to a depth of 5 nm ...
