Abstract Aim PEEK (poly-ether-ether-ketone) is an innovative thermoplastic polymeric biomaterial used in Maxillofacial Surgery. As opposed to metallic implants, implants can be 3D-printed specifically for patients and do not suffer stress shielding effects- a major cause of implant failure. This investigation aimed compare mechanical integrity biocompatibility modern against traditionally produ...

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) materials are widely adopted in the manufacture of facial prostheses, lab-on-chip devices and scaffolds for soft-tissue engineering applications; however, their processing by additive manufacturing (AM) has proved challenging. Liquid silicone rubbers (LSRs) favoured high shape fidelity when cast, but low viscosity surface tension often prevent self-support, post-extr...

Removable partial dentures are still widely used to repair dental defects. Due the problems of aesthetic defects, heavy weight, and metallic odor metal removable that in clinical practice, non-metallic alternative materials now actively explored. As a new material with good physical chemical properties, polyether ether ketone (PEEK) has been tried be fabrication dentures. In this paper, we revi...

The manipulation of interfacial structures offers an effective route to improve the physical and chemical properties materials. However, it is challenging design ceramic-based composites with hybrid interfaces involved organics inorganics through conventional sintering technique, due incompatibility these materials at high temperatures. Here, we propose a strategy integrate poly-ether-ether-ket...
