Abstract
Polyetheretherketone has been widely used for bone defect repair, whereas failures may happen due to implant loosening and infection. Thus, PEEK implant with multi-function (osteogenesis, angiogenesis, and bacteria-killing) is essential to solve this problem. Herein, copper oxide microspheres (µCuO) decorated with silver nanoparticles (nAg) were constructed on porous PEEK surface via silk fibroin. In vitro studies highlighted the pH controlled...
