Abstract

Abstract : Orthopaedic Implant Coatings In article number 2100333, Florence H.Y. Lui, Charles C. Sorrell, and co‐workers describe a dynamic mineralization method to encapsulate polyether‐ether‐ketone with carbonate‐apatite for osseointegration. The nature‐inspired process is simultaneously low‐temperature, rapid, and multidirectional, indicating suitability with a wide range of orthopaedic materials. A precursor CaCO3 layer is deposited by nacre‐inspired convective self‐assembly, followed by a travertine‐inspired cold sintering step. The CaCO3 is converted to carbonate‐apatite by dissolution‐recrystallization inspired by the hydrated layer of bone.
