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.
