New synthetic PEKK/bioceramic hybrids and their surface sulfonation counterparts have increased cellular osteogenic capacity and promoted osseointegration

PEKK has good biocompatibility as an implantable material, but its mechanical properties and osseointegration are not satisfied enough. Aluminum oxide (Al2O3) is highly wear-resistant, while hydroxyapatite (HA) is a biologically active. However all previous biocomposites made via mechanical mixing o...
