To obtain good bone-implant interfaces, many modification methods have been developed to enable PEEK and PEEK- based composites from bio-inert to bioactive. Among them, physical methods have aroused significant attention and been widely used to modify PEEK for orthopedic implants. This review summarizes current physical modification techniques of PEEK for orthopedic applications, which include composite strategies, surface coating methods and irradiation treatments. The positive consequences of those modification methods will encourage continuing investigations and stimulate the wide range of applications of PEEK-based implants in orthopedics.展开更多

However, as a bioinert material, PEEK plays a limited role in osteoconduction and osseointegration. In this study, recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 （rhBMP-2） was immobilized onto the surface of collagen-coated PEEK in order to prepare a multi-functional material. After adsorbed onto the PEEK surface by hydroph（bic interaction, collagen was cross-linked with N-（3-dimethylaminopropyl）-N＇-ethyl carbodiimide hydrochloride （EDC） and N-hydro xysuccinimide （NHS）. EDCINHS system also contributed to the immobilization of rhBMP- 2. Water contact angle tests, XPS and SEM clearly demonstrated the surface changes. ELISA tests quantified the amount of rhBMP-2 immobilized and the release over a period of 30 d. In vitro evaluation proved that the osteogenesis differentiation rate was higher when cells were cultured on modified PEEK discs than on regular ones. In vivo tests were conducted and positive changes of major parameters were presented. This report demonstrates that the rhBMP-2 immobilized method for PEEK modification increase bioactivity in vitro and in vivo, suggesting its practicability in orthopedic and spinal clinical applications.展开更多

The cyclic dimers readily undergo anionic ring-opening polymerization or copolymerization in the melt by using sodium benzoate as the initiator, producing linear, high molecular weight polyesters. The contents of cyclic dimers in the homopolymers P1, P2, and copolymer P12 are 13.7%, 10.2%, 2.9%, respectively, which indicates that ring-opening copolymerization of cyclic dimers may impel the conversion of cyclic dimers and decrease the content of cyclic dimers in the resulting copolymer. Moreover, the isothermal chemorheology of the ring-opening copolymeriza- tion of cyclic dimers indicates that the reactive molten mixture has low shear viscosity and the viscosity increases slowly in the initial stage of ring-opening polymerization.展开更多
