Fabricating adjustable mechanical properties of biomaterials at different level remains an important challenge in obtaining suitable bone substitutes with stiffness at micro scale and toughness at macro level. In this study, the changes in structure and properties of three dimension braided polyetheretherketone (3D-braided PEEK) after hot-pressed at 345 °C, 355 °C and 365 °C were investigated. The hyperfield 3D microscopy images and DSC revealed more compact macrostructure and lower crystallinity of 3D braided PEEK at higher hot-pressing temperature. The depth-sensing indentation data exhibited a reduction in elastic modulus of 3D braided PEEK with increasing the hot-press temperature, but its strength and toughness measured via universal material experiment machine increased. These results suggested that the micro-mechanics properties of braided PEEK matrix can be adjusted by altering its intrinsic crystal structure that governed by the hot-pressing temperature, whereas its macro-mechanics characteristics by changing its macrostructure that depended on textile structure. Present findings made a breakthrough in simultaneously regulating the micro- and macro-mechanics properties of PEEK in an opposite manner, which should have promising application in the development of customized orthopedic implants.

The current research on the development and performance evaluation of unique composites focuses on an unexplored combination of fibers of PBO (polybenzoxazole Zylon) as reinforcement and PEEK (polyetheretherketone) as a matrix. Their fibers were braided in equal ratios and then compression-molded to develop composites by manipulating all long fibers in one direction (unidirectional, a UD composite) and for the other one half in one direction and the remaining half in the perpendicular direction (bidirectional, a BD composite). The performance was evaluated by hardness (micro- and scratch) studies followed by tensile and impact strength.

Background: Recently, all-suture, all-inside meniscal repair devices-including devices containing flat sutures or tapes-have been introduced. Similar to those in suture anchors, these modifications may have different performance characteristics than conventional sutures and polyether ether ketone (PEEK)-anchored devices.
Purpose: To compare the biomechanical characteristics of all-suture meniscal repair devices with those of a conventional PEEK-anchored device and an inside-out meniscal suture construct.

Background: Retainer is a necessary procedure when orthodontic treatment complete to avoid relapse due to periodontal fiber elasticity and to allow for alveolar bone regeneration. Compare the influence of vertical force on the failure of three fixed retainers: CAD/CAM polyether ether ketone (PEEK), CAD/CAM fiber glass reinforced composites (FRCs), and lingual retainer wire "Bond-A-Braid™".
Materials And Methods: One hundred and eight maxillary first premolars teeth were randomly allocated to three groups: Group A (CAD/CAM PEEK), Group B (CAD/CAM FRC), and Group C (lingual retainer wire " Bond-A-Braid™").

During the last decade, there has been an increased demand for non-metallic materials in orthodontics due to allergies, compatibility with medical imaging devices such as MRI, and aesthetic reasons. Monolithic poly-ether-ether-ketone material could address medical issues such as allergies and MRI compatibility. Moreover, nickel-titanium (NiTi) archwires covered in PEEK, either by a tube or electrophoretic deposition, could address esthetic concerns.

Objectives: To investigate the efficacy of polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) wire as a fixed orthodontic retainer, by comparing its performance to other retainer wires and optimizing its adhesion to composite bonding materials.
Materials And Methods: Retainer wires of 15 mm segments were used, PEEK wires were prepared in cylindrical form with 0.8 mm diameter, and had two surface treatments namely air-abrasion and conditioning with adhesive system.
