The Design Modelling of PEEK Composite for Bone Implants
… integrity of Hip and Femur Implants through PEEK Composite and FDM Techniques. Examines using polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) materials for improved bone implantation. While PEEK materials offer benefits such as non-toxicity, high strength, and toughness, they often fall short in replicating …

Surface engineering, characterisation and applications of synthetic polymers for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Investigation of the response of MG63 osteosarcoma cell line to modified surface topographies, mechanical properties and cell-surface interactions using different synthetic polymers fabricated in house with various topographical features
… The four materials fabricated are Polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK), PEEK with 30% glass fibre (GL/PEEK) composite, PEEK and GL/PEEK with grooved topography. SEM and AFM analysis was used to investigate the groove dimensions and surface roughness of all samples followed by mechanical …

Development of novel catalysts coated non-fluorinated proton exchange membranes for water electrolysis
… In this PhD research, sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) was chosen as the matrix for a hydrocarbon-based membrane due to its superior thermo-mechanical and chemical stability, as well as its lower cost compared to the commercially available NafionTM membrane. To enhance the …
