MODIFIED POLYARYLETHERKETONE (PAEK) POLYMER AND METHOD FOR OBTAINING IT

摘要

The invention relates to a modified polyaryletherketone (PAEK) polymer having surfaces chemically modified with azides, alkynes, thiols, maleimides, sulphonyl azides or thio acids, suitable for click reactions, and to a method for obtaining it. The invention further concerns conjugated biomaterials derived therefrom, PAEK-type materials having surfaces modified with an RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) and/or OGP 10-14 (Tyr-Gly-Phe-Gly-Gly) peptidomimetic, and to a method for obtaining it. These materials are particularly useful for manufacturing medical devices. Finally, the invention also relates to a fluorescent PAEK material.
