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 ...
