Fabrication and Characterization of Modified Polyether Ether Ketone/Carbon Nanofiber Nanocomposite for Bone Application, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Ramazani Saadatabadi, Ahmad (Supervisor)
Abstract
The use of polyether ether ketone (PEEK) in bone implants is limited due to a lack of cell adhesion and proliferation. Therefore, in this study, we modified the surface of PEEK with a nanocomposite coating containing piezoelectric and bioactive properties. Sulfonated PEEK with suitable mechanical and hydrophilic properties along with polyvinylidene fluoride was used as a biocompatible polymer with piezoelectric properties for coating. Also, nanohydroxyapatite was used as a bioactive material, and carbon nanofibers with significant mechanical and electrical properties were used in the nanocomposite. The surface was sulfonated as an intermediate layer to improve the connection between the...
