SEM/EDS analyses of PEEK surfaces after laser irradiation. a SEM observation before cell culture on the disks: (i) non-coated PEEK, (ii) laser-exposed without coating PEEK, (iii) HAP-coated PEEK, (iv) SrHAP-coated PEEK, (v) SrSiP-coated PEEK and (vi) SrZnSiP-coated PEEK disks. The indicated area in the figure were analyzed, and (b) the elemental compositions are shown in the figures. The concentration of apatite in the coating solution was 6.4 wt%
