“…Improvement of the bioadhesion properties could possibly result from an increase of the surface hydrophilicity, for instance by the introduction of carboxyl groups or by UV irradiation. In such a way, these reactive surface functionalisations should be excellent anchorage points for the immobilization of bioactive molecules [4][5][6].…”

“…Plasma technology was used to enhance the attachment of fibroblasts and bone cells to modified material [2]. Basic research using various photochemical routes was explored which may open up further ways for the enhancement of cell adhesiveness [3]. A highly promising and purely wet-chemical approach is based upon the generation of hydroxy functionalities via reduction of the keto groups of the benzophenone repeating units of the PEEK polymer backbone in order to generate hydroxy functions [4].…”

“…[1][2][3][4] Because PEEK has mechanical strength and is light, it may be used as a biomaterial, i.e., a material designed and manufactured to be placed in contact with living tissue, cells, blood, and various biological fluids. 5,6) PEEK possesses two units, a phenyl ether group and a benzophenone group, with an oxygen atom and a carbonyl group (C=O) existing between the two phenyl groups. The C-O bond in the phenyl ether group and the C-C bond in the benzophenone group are weak because the electronegativity of oxygen elements is strong and the phenyl and carbonyl groups (C=O) have resonant structures.…”
