| Abstract | Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is widely used in orthopedic implants, such as spinal fusion devices, because of its moderate elastic modulus, as well as relatively high mechanical strength. However, it does not bond to living bone, and hence it needs autograft to be fixed to the bone. In this study, we attempted to add bone-bonding properties to PEEK by coating with TiO$_{2}$ synthesized by the sol–gel process. When a TiO$_{2}$ sol solution consisting of titanium isopropoxide, water, ethanol, and nitric acid was deposited on a PEEK substrate without any pretreatment, the formed TiO$_{2}$ gel layer was easily peeled off after subsequent treatments. However, when the same solution was deposited on PEEK that was preliminarily subjected to UV or O$_{2}$ plasma treatment, the deposited TiO$_{2}$ gel layer strongly adhered to the substrate even after subsequent treatments. The strong adhesion was attributed to the interaction among the C–O, C=O, and O–C=O groups on the PEEK owing to the UV or O$_{2}$ plasma treatment and the Ti–O bond of the TiO$_{2}$ gel. Apatite did not form on the as-formed TiO$_{2}$ gel layer in a simulated body fluid (SBF) even within 3 days; however, apatite formed after soaking in 0.1 M HCl solution at 80 °C for 24 h. This apatite formation was attributed to positive surface charge of the TiO$_{2}$ gel layer induced by the acid treatment. The PEEK with the TiO$_{2}$ gel layer coating formed by the proposed process is expected to bond to living bone, because a positively charged titanium oxide which facilitates the formation of apatite in SBF within a short period is known to bond to living bone. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
