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.

The friction and wear behavior of short carbon fiber reinforced polyetheretherketone was studied experimentally under dry sliding conditions against SCM440(AISI 4140) disks with a different surface roughness and hardness at the low sliding speeds and the high pressures on a pin-on-disk apparatus. Under the low disk surface roughness value the earsplitting noise and stick-slip were occurred. The increased adhesion friction and wear factor with stick-slip made the friction and wear behavior worse. Under the high disk surface hardness the break and falling-off of carbon fibers were accelerated. The carbon fibers fallen off from the matrix were ground into powder between two wear surfaces and this phenomenon caused a abrasive friction and wear factor to increase. So the friction and wear behavior became worse. With the transfer film made of wear particles formed on a disk, the carbon powder film formed on a pin lowered a friction coefficient.

Hemifacial microsomia (HFM) is a complex congenital condition with heterogeneous malformations of the facial skeleton that almost always involves mandibular hypoplasia. Here we introduce a unique case in which a patient with HFM had initially successful optimization of facial symmetry using a polyetheretherketone implant for mandibular augmentation. However, multiple factors associated with the intraoperative and postoperative course, including hardware failure and infection, led to diminished mechanical strength of the mandible, ultimately resulting in a mandibular fracture. In this unique case presentation of HFM, we discuss the various factors that contributed to mandibular weakness and increased susceptibility to fracture.

Reconstructions of extensive composite scalp and cranial defects are challenging due to high incidence of postoperative infection and reconstruction failure. In such cases, cranial reconstruction and vascularized soft tissue coverage are required. However, optimal reconstruction timing and material for cranioplasty are not yet determined. Herein, we present a large skull defect with a chronically infected wound that was not improved by repeated debridement and antibiotic treatment for 3 months. It was successfully treated with anterolateral thigh (ALT) free flap transfer for wound salvage and delayed cranioplasty with a patient-specific polyetheretherketone implant. To reduce infection risk, we performed the cranioplasty 1 year after the infection had resolved. In the meantime, depression of ALT flap at the skull defect site was observed, and the midline shift to the contralateral side was reported in a brain computed tomography (CT) scan, but no evidence of neurologic deterioration was found. After the surgery, sufficient cerebral expansion without noticeable dead-space was confirmed in a follow-up CT scan, and there was no complication over the 1-year follow-up period.

본 연구에서는 수계 내 포함된 양이온들 중 특히 중금속 이온을 효율적으로 분리할 수 있는 양이온 교환막을 개발하였다. 기저 고분자로는 sulfonated polyetheretherketone (SPEEK)를 사용하였으며 이에 중금속 이온에 결합력이 강한 킬레이팅 수지를 파우더링하여 첨가하였다. 또한 양이온 교환막의 성능을 최적화시키기 위해 킬레이팅 수지의 함량 및 SPEEK의 이온교환용량을 제어하였다. 결과적으로 제조된 양이온 교환막을 막 축전식 탈염 공정(membrane capacitive deionization, MCDI)에 적용한 결과 중금속 이온 제거 효율이 20% 이상 향상됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

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.

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.
