Characterization of Expulsion, Cell Viability, and Bacterial Attachment of Enhanced Sulfonated Hydrothermally Treated PEEK Surfaces for Implant Applications

Porosity and roughened surfaces of implant materials have been shown to lead to improved cellular attachment and enhanced osseointegration. These topography changes in the surface also aid in the mechanical interlocking of the material to the bone. Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has emerged as a popula...
