The Role of Surface Chemistry in the Osseointegration of PEEK Implants
Buck E.; Lee S.; Gao Q.; Tran S.D.; Tamimi F.; Stone L.S.; Cerruti M.... more authors ... less authors ( American Chemical Society , 2022 , Article)Poly(etheretherketone) (PEEK) implants suffer from poor osseointegration because of chronic inflammation. In this study, we hypothesized that adding NH2and COOH groups to the surface of PEEK could modulate macrophage ... -
Titanium-Containing Silicate-Based Sol-Gel Bioactive Glass: Development, Characterization, and Applications
Smith S.; Elkashty O.; Tamimi F.; Tran S.D.; Cerruti M. ( American Chemical Society , 2021 , Article)Bioactive glasses are surface-reactive glasses that, when placed in physiological fluid, undergo a transformation from glass to hydroxyapatite. Doping the bioactive glass with metallic ions can impart desirable and unique ...
