چکیده

PEEK cages are an effective alternative when structural bone graft is needed for different fusions around the foot and ankle. Bone fusion rates are high when PEEK cages are filled with autologous bone. No difference in consolidation time in patients was noticed between the cages fixed with staples and those fixed with cannulated screws. Nerve damage, residual pain at the donor site, and cosmetic problems are avoided with the use of PEEK cages. There is no risk of transmission of hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV when using PEEK cages.

Preparation and Physical Characterization of Sulfonated Poly (Ether Ether Ketone) and Polypyrrole Composite Membrane

Sulfoanted poly(ether ether ketone) membranes were prepared by the sulfonating agent sulfuric acid. These membranes were modifed by incorporating conducting polymer polypyrrole in order to increase the ionic conductivity and reduce the methanol transmission rate. The modifed composite membranes were then compared on the basis of ionic conductivity, methanol transmission...

Poly (Ether Ether Ketone) Based Anion Exchange Membrane for Solid Alkaline Fuel Cell: A Review

Solid alkaline fuel cell is employed by polymer anion exchange membrane (AEM) that is permeable to hydroxide ion. A number of polymers have been proposed for AEM which include polysulfone (PSF), poly (phenylene oxide) (PPO), and poly (ether ether ketone) (PEEK). The purpose of this paper was to conduct a critical review on the development of PEEK polymer as AEM, particu...

Studies on the SPEEK membrane with low degree of sulfonation as a stable proton exchange membrane for fuel cell applications

Sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) with a low degree of sulfonation (DS = 40%) was prepared for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC). Poly (ether ether ketone) (PEEK) was sulfonated in concentrated H2SO4 under N2 atmosphere and characterized by the hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance (H-NMR) technique. After preparation of the SPEEK polymer, the obtained polymer was dissolved i...
