Article Synopsis
- - The study explored using piranha solution and sulfuric acid to enhance the bioactivity of PEEK surfaces by varying treatment times and concentrations.
- - Longer treatment times and higher acid concentrations led to the sulfonation of the PEEK surface, increasing its hydrophilicity and creating more surface functional groups.
- - The treatments not only altered the surface texture of PEEK but also promoted calcium deposition when immersed in simulated body fluid, indicating potential for improved performance in implants.
