“…Regarding the crystalline structure of the composite materials, the presence of ZnO and PEEK with its characteristic hexagonal wurtzite and orthorhombic unit cell [ 36 ], respectively, was evidenced in the diffraction patterns ( Figure 2 ). The narrower peaks in the composites in comparison with those of pure PEEK could be indicative of a decrease in the spherulite’s size promoted by the presence of ZnO, as observed by Jiang et al [ 37 ], as well as a decrease in the crystal domains distribution. The slight shift to a smaller 2θ angle in the presence of ZnO could be indicative of a partial disruption of the crystalline structure of PEEK, provoked by the nanostructures, increasing the d -space in the crystalline lattice.…”

The main target for the future of materials in dentistry aims to develop dental implants that will have optimal integration with the surrounding tissues, while preventing or avoiding bacterial infections. In this project, poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK), known for its suitable biocompa-tibility and mechanical properties for dental applications, was loaded with 1, 3, and 5 wt.% ZnO nanoparticles to provide antibacterial properties and improve interaction with cells. Sample cha-racterization by X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) as well as mechanical properties showed the presence of the nanoparticles and their effect in PEEK matrices, preserving their relevant properties for dental applications. Al-though, the incorporation of ZnO nanoparticles did not improve the mechanical properties and a slight decrease in the thermal stability of the materials was observed. Hemocompatibility and osteoblasts-like cell viability tests showed improved biological performances when ZnO was present, demonstrating high potential for dental implant applications.

“…No other reflections could be observed except for those corresponding to perovskite‐type and PEEK phases, indicating the chemical stability between the two phases as expected. The intensity of PEEK phase decreases as the amount of LNT filler increases, which may imply that the addition of ceramic particles can change the spherulite's size of PEEK as reported …”

3-Aminopropyl)triethoxysilane treated La (2−x)/3 Na 0.06 TiO 3 (x = 0.06) (LNT) microparticles filled polyetheretherketone (PEEK) composites were prepared using hot pressing process. The effects of variation of LNT ceramic filling fraction on dielectric properties, water absorption, thermal stability and mechanical strength were investigated. All composites demonstrate low water absorption (less than 0.4%) when the ceramic filling fraction is lower than 0.6V f . The obtained composites exhibited dielectric permittivities varying from ~4 to ~22 as the ceramic fillers increased from 0.1 to 0.8V f and low losses (~10 −4 @1 MHz, 3~5 × 10 −3 at the frequencies of microwave (10 GHz) and millimeter wave (29-50 GHz), respectively). The mechanical strength, dimensional and dielectric thermal stability of the composite are remarkably improved by the addition of LNT ceramic fillers. A composite with near zero temperature coefficients of dielectric permittivity or resonant frequency and flexural strength of ~140 MPa could be obtained. The out-of-plane coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) could be reduced to ~20 ppm/°C as the ceramic filler loading reached 0.7V f .

“…The antibacterial property enhanced with the increase in the ZnO content, and the best antibacterial property was obtained at 7.5 wt% of the modified nanoparticles. Hao et al (2018) synthesized PEEK/ZnO nanocomposites by conventional melting blending and compression molding and studied the properties of the composites. The results showed that the mechanical properties and thermal stability of the composites were significantly improved and the composites had good cellular compatibility.…”

Biologically Modified Polyether Ether Ketone as Dental Implant Material

Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) is a non-toxic polymer with elastic modulus close to human bone. Compared with metal implants, PEEK has advantages such as evasion of stress shielding effect, easy processing, and similar color as teeth, among others. Therefore, it is an excellent substitute material for titanium dental orthopedic implants. However, PEEK’s biological inertia limits its use as an implant. To change PEEK’s biological inertia and increase its binding ability with bone tissue as an implant, researchers have explored a number of modification methods to enhance PEEK’s biological activities such as cellular compatibility, osteogenic activity, and antibacterial activity. This review summarizes current biological activity modification methods for PEEK, including surface modification and blending modification, and analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of each modification method. We believe that modified PEEK will be a promising dental and orthopedic implant material.
