Abstract:It is well-known that a lower wear rate, favorable mechanical properties, and limited inflammatory response are critical factors in determining the long-term service of orthopedic implants. In this study, we prepare TaB 2 /PEEK coatings by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) of borated tantalum (TaB 2 ) and polyether-etherketone (PEEK) particles on a pure titanium plate (TA2). Nanoindenter, reciprocating ball-on-disc tester, and in vitro biological experiments were used to investigate the effects of TaB 2 particl… Show more
