Near-Surface Nanomechanics of Medical-Grade PEEK Measured by Atomic Force Microscopy

Near-Surface Nanomechanics of Medical-Grade PEEK Measured by Atomic Force Microscopy

Detecting subtle changes of surface stiffness at spatial scales and forces relevant to biological processes is crucial for the characterization of biopolymer systems in view of chemical and/or physical surface modification aimed at improving bioactivity and/or mechanical strength. Here, a standard a...
