Abstract

In this study, we deposit composite coatings based on polyether ether ketone (PEEK), bioactive glass (BG) and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) particles via electrophoretic deposition (EPD) on stainless steel (SS316-L). The compounds have been characterized in terms of morphology, composition, adhesion strength, and compatibility in vitro bioactivity. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed the uniform dispersion of PEEK, BG and h-BN particles in the deposit. The coatings were sintered in a furnace at 375 ° C for 30 minutes. SEM analysis showed that PEEK is a uniform matrix embedded with BG and h-BN particles. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) confirmed the presence of PEEK, BG and h-BN.The sintered coating shows appropriate adhesion to the substrate (qualitatively assessed). Moreover, the hydrophilicity for initial protein attachment. Finally, the coatings formed in a simulated body fluid, as confirmed by SEM and FTIR analysis.
