Bioactive PEEK: Surface Enrichment of Vitronectin-Derived Adhesive Peptides

Bioactive PEEK: Surface Enrichment of Vitronectin-Derived Adhesive Peptides

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a thermoplastic polymer that has been recently employed for bone tissue engineering as a result of its biocompatibility and mechanical properties being comparable to human bone. PEEK, however, is a bio-inert material and, when implanted, does not interact with the host...
