Geogrid-inspired robust mineralized coating promotes vascularized osseointegration of polyetheretherketone.
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is widely used in orthopedic implants but integrates poorly with surrounding bone. Bioactive coatings can improve this, yet most adhere weakly to PEEK's inert surface-causing delamination and inflammation. Inspired by geogrid structures used in highway pavement engineering, this study presen...
