In this review, initial microbial adhesive interactions are divided into adhesion to substratum
surfaces, coaggregation between microbial pairs and co-adhesion between sessile and …

Porous biomaterials with the proper three-dimensional (3D) surface network can enhance
biological functionalities especially in tissue engineering, but it has been difficult to …

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is desirable in orthopedic and dental applications because its
mechanical properties are similar to those of natural bones but the bioinertness and inferior …

Bacterial infection is one of the most common problems after orthopedic implant surgery. If
not prevented, bacterial infection can result in serious and life threatening conditions such …

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a kind of nontoxic high-performance thermoplastic widely
used for medical applications. Compared with other special engineering plastics, PEEK has …
