The dielectric properties of Y-ray irradiated and thermally aged polyetheretherketone (PEEK) have been investigated. Results of the temperature dependency of dielectric properties indicated that the glass transition temperature of aged PEEK increased as radiative and thermal ageing. The frequency dependency of dielectric properties implied that the magnitude of radiation and thermal induced dipoles, ions increased as radiative and thermal ageing. The values of relaxation intensity calculated using Cole-Cole's circular arc can be useful for evaluation of degradation level of PEEK.

열전도도가 유사한 입자형 필러인 silicon carbide (SiC)와 섬유형 필러인 carbon fiber (CF)를 polyetheretherketone (PEEK) 고분자에 첨가하여 복합재료의 열확산도에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 전자현미경을 통해 얻은 단면사진으로부터 SiC와 CF가 PEEK 매트릭스 안에 균일하게 분산되어 있고 필러들이 부분적으로 서로 네트워크를 형성한 것을 관찰하였다. 레이저 섬광법을 이용하여 상온에서 $200^{\circ}C$까지 PEEK/SiC와 PEEK/CF 복합재료의 열확산도를 측정하였으며, 열확산도는 온도가 상승함에 따라 PEEK-필러와 필러-필러 계면에서의 포논산란 증가에 의하여 감소하였다. 필러함량이 증가함에 따라 복합재료의 열확산도가 증가하였으며, 2상계에 대하여 유도된 Maxwell 및 Nielson 예측식을 실험값과 비교함으로써 매트릭스 내의 필러 분포, 방향성, 종횡비 및 필러간의 상호작용 등을 유추할 수 있었다. Nielson 예측식은 PEEK/SiC 복합재료에 대하여 열전도도를 잘 예측하였다. 입자형 필러인 SiC에 비하여 섬유형 필러인 탄소섬유가 동일한 함량에서 열확산에 기여하는 필러 네트워크를 효과적으로 형성하여 높은 열확산도를 가지는 것으로 추정된다.

PURPOSE. Esthetic expectations have increased the use of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) clasps as alternatives to Cr-Co in removable partial dentures (RPDs). The objective of this study was to evaluate the retentive force and dimensional change of clasps with different thickness and undercut made from PEEK by the thermo-mechanical fatigue. MATERIALS AND METHODS. PEEK clasps (N = 48) with thicknesses of 1 or 1.50 mm and 48 premolar monolithic zirconia crowns with undercuts of 0.25 mm or 0.50 mm were fabricated. Samples are divided into four groups (C1-C4) and were subjected to 7200 thermal aging cycles (at 5 - 55℃). The changes in the retentive force and dimensions of the clasps were measured by micro-stress testing and micro-CT devices from five measurement points (M1 - M5). One-way ANOVA, paired t-test, two-way repeated ANOVA, and post-hoc tests were used to analyze the data (P < .05). RESULTS. The retentive forces of C1, C2, C3, and C4 groups in initial and final test were found to be 4.389-3.388 N, 4.67 - 3.396 N, 5.161 - 4.096 N, 5.459 - 4.141 N, respectively. The effects of retentive force of all PEEK clasps groups were significant decreased. Thermo-mechanical cycles caused significant dimensional changes at points with M2, M4, and M5, and abraded the clasp corners and increased the distance between the ends of the clasp, resulting in reduced retentive forces (P^* = .016, P^* = .042, P < .001, respectively). CONCLUSION. Thermo-mechanical aging decreases the retentive forces in PEEK clasps. Increasing the thickness and undercut amount of clasps decreases the amount of dimensional change. The values measured after aging are within the clinically acceptable limits.

Purpose: This study aimed to comparatively evaluate the stress distribution of bones surrounding the implant system to which both titanium and polyetheretherketone (PEEK) abutments are applied using a three-dimensional finite element analysis. Methods: The three-dimensional implant system was designed by the computer-aided design program (CATIA; Dassault Systemes). The discretization process for setting nodes and elements was conducted using the HyperMesh program (Altair), after finishing the design of each structure for the customized abutment implant system. The results of the stress analysis were drawn from the Abaqus program (Dassault Systèmes). This study applied 200 N of vertical load and 100 N of oblique load to the occlusal surface of a mandibular first molar. Results: Under external load application, the PEEK-modeled dental implant showed the highest von Mises stress (VMS). The lowest VMS was observed in the Ti-modeled abutment screws. In all groups, the VMS was observed in the crestal regions or necks of implants. Conclusion: The bones surrounding the implant system to which the PEEK abutment was applied, such as the cortical and trabecular bones, showed stress distribution similar to that of the titanium implant system. This finding suggests that the difference in the abutment materials had no effect on the stress distribution of the bones surrounding implants. However, the PEEK abutments require mechanical and physical properties improved for clinical application, and the clinical application is thought to be limited.

In this study, the variation of fatigue strength in CF/PEEK and CF/EPOXY, the matrix and interfacial strength of which differ from each other, has been studied from the viewpoint of microfracture behavior. The results obtained are as follows; According as the fatigue strength moves from the lower cycle range to the higher cycle range, that of CF/PEEK shows higher curve than that of CF/EPOXY does. In the early stage of fatigue life, the characteristic of fatigue crack in CF/PEEK is mainly the fracture of longitudinal fiber, while that in CF/EPOXY is the fracture of transverse fiber. The difference of fatigue strength in these materials can be explained by the fracture criteria of transverse fiber and longitudinal fiber.

목적: 현재 상용화하여 사용되는 임시 수복물 재료와 새롭게 대두되는 재료들의 기계적 성질을 실험하고, 평가하는 것이다. 연구 재료 및 방법: Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) 2종, polyetheretherketone (PEEK), polycarbonate 4군의 고분자 재료들을 평가하였고, 표면 경도, 굴곡강도, 저작 시 마모도, 마모 양상 4가지의 기계적 물성을 실험하였다. 시편의 3축 굽힘 강도와 비커스 경도 테스트는 각각 만능 시험기를 사용하여 측정하였고, 저작 시험기를 이용하여 100,000회의 저작 시험 후 주사 전자 현미경으로 미세구조를 관찰하고 전, 후 무게를 비교하였다. 통계적 유의성 평가를 위해 kruskal wallis test를 시행하였다. 결과: PEEK의 굽힘 강도와 비커스 경도가 가장 높게 나타났으며, PC, PMMA-H, PMMA-T 순으로 나타났다. 미세구조 표면은 PEEK 군에서 거칠기 형태가 가장 적게 나타났으며, PC, PMMA-H, PMMA-T 순으로 적게 나타났다. 결론: PC는 임시치아 제작에 적용할 수 있는 충분한 기계적 성질을 가진 것으로 사료된다. 그러나, 실제 임상 적용을 위해서는 생체 친화성과 같은 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Objective : This study aimed to compare the clinical and radiologic outcomes of patients with subaxial cervical injury who underwent anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) with autologous iliac bone graft or polyetheretherketone (PEEK) cages using demineralized bone matrix (DBM). Methods : From January 2005 to December 2010, 70 patients who underwent one-level ACDF with plate fixation for post-traumatic subaxial cervical spinal injury in a single institution were retrospectively investigated. Autologous iliac crest grafts were used in 33 patients (Group I), whereas 37 patients underwent ACDF using a PEEK cage filled with DBM (Group II). Plain radiographs were used to assess bone fusion, interbody height (IBH), segmental angle (SA), overall cervical sagittal alignment (CSA, C2-7 angle), and development of adjacent segmental degeneration (ASD). Clinical outcome was assessed using a visual analog scale (VAS) for pain and Frankel grade. Results : The mean follow-up duration for patients in Group I and Group II was 28.9 and 25.4 months, respectively. All patients from both groups achieved solid fusion during the follow-up period. The IBH and SA of the fused segment and CSA in Group II were better maintained during the follow-up period. Nine patients in Group I and two patients in Group II developed radiologic ASD. There were no statistically significant differences in the VAS score and Frankel grade between the groups. Conclusion : This study showed that PEEK cage filled with DBM, and plate fixation is at least as safe and effective as ACDF using autograft, with good maintenance of cervical alignment. With advantages such as no donor site morbidity and no graft-related complications, PEEK cage filled with DBM, and plate fixation provide a promising surgical option for treating traumatic subaxial cervical spine injuries.

A bio-composites were prepared by mechanical mixing with bioactive sol-gel derived $CaO-SiO_2$ and organic PEEK for bone repairing hybrid materials. The composites were characterized by in-vitro test. A bonelike apatite was formed on the surface of all bio-composites in SBF test. The cell morphology and adhesion on the surface of the composites having below 30% PEEK were clearly observed in L929 cell experiment.
