Back Cover: Silicon nitride (Si3N4) is a bioceramic with unique surface chemistry, friendly to cells and adverse to bacteria. A 15vol.% Si3N4 particulate dispersion into polyetheretherketone (PEEK) proved capable to translate such a unique biochemical behavior to a polymer‐matrix composite, which also became X‐ray translucent and retained a modulus of elasticity comparable to bone. This is reported...
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a popular polymeric biomaterial which is primarily used as an intervertebral spacer in spinal fusion surgery; but it is developed for trauma, prosthodontics, maxillofacial, and cranial implants. It has the purported advantages of an elastic modulus which is similar to native bone and it can be easily formed into custom 3D shapes. Nevertheless, PEEK's disadvantages include...
