文摘
- •
Wettability and thermal stability changes of PEEK (air/N2 plasma treated) were observed.
- •
No differences in excellent mechanical properties of modified PEEK were noticed.
- •
The contact angles were reduced due to the formation of new polar groups.
- •
After air/N2 plasma modification PEEK surface was more hydrophilic.
- •
Stable chitosan coating was created improving antibacterial properties of PEEK.
