In recent years, the synthetic polymer polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has increasingly been used in a number of orthopedic implementations, due to its excellent mechanical properties, bioinertness, and chemical resistance. For in vivo applications, the surface of PEEK, which does not naturally support cell adhesion, has to be modified to improve tissue integration. In the present work we demonstra...

The application of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) in additive manufacturing (AM) can effectively reduce material and energy waste the process help achieve lightweight parts. As a result, AM PEEK is considered an emerging technology line with green concepts. However, 3D-printed parts often suffer from low mechanical strength poor surface quality due to immaturity process. Therefore, this research i...

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a popular thermoplastic material widely used in engineering applications due to its favorable mechanical properties and stability at high temperatures. With the first implantable grade PEEK being commercialized 1990s, use of has since grown exponentially biomedical field rapidly transformed large section medical devices landscape. Nowadays, standard biomaterial ac...
