Enhanced Osseointegration Capability of Poly(ether ether ketone) via Combined Phosphate and Calcium Surface-Functionalization

Biomedical applications of poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) are hindered by its inherent bioinertness and lack of osseointegration capability. In the present study, to enhance osteogenic activity and, hence, the osseointegration capability of PEEK, we proposed a strategy of combined phosphate and cal...
