A method for Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) surface treatment was investigated to achieve better adhesion with TiO2 film coating for biomedical applications. Oxygen plasma treatment of PEEK using Samco system improved adhesion between the material surface and TiO2 due to increase of oxygen-containing chemical functional groups on the surface.
