Abstract
OBJECTIVE Polyetheretherketone (PEEK), a biomaterial with appropriate bone-like mechanical properties and excellent biocompatibility, is widely applied in cranio-maxillofacial and dental applications. However, the lack of antibacterial effect is an essential drawback of PEEK material and might lead to infection and osseointegration issues. This study aims to apply a natural antibacterial agent, totarol coating onto the 3D printed PEEK surface and find an optimized concentration with balanced cytocompatibility, osteogenesis, and antibacterial capability. METHODS In this study, a natural antibacterial agent, totarol, was applied as a coating to fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printed PEEK surfaces at a series of increasing concentrations (1 mg/ml, 5 mg/ml, 10 mg/ml, 15 mg/ml, and 20 mg/ml). The samples were then evaluated for cytocompatibility with L929 fibroblast and SAOS-2 osteoblast using live/dead staining and CCK-8 assay. The antibacterial capability was assessed by crystal violet staining, live/dead staining, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) utilizing the oral primary colonizer S. gordonii and isolates of mixed oral bacteria in a stirring system simulating the oral environment. The appropriate safe working concentration for totarol coating is selected based on the results of the cytocompatibility and antibacterial test. Subsequently, the influence on osteogenic differentiation was evaluated by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and alizarin red staining (ARS) analysis of pre-osteoblasts. RESULTS Our results showed that the optimal concentration of totarol solution for promising antibacterial coating was approximately 10 mg/ml. Such surfaces could play an excellent antibacterial role by inducing a contact-killing effect with an inhibitory effect against biofilm development without affecting the healing of soft and hard tissues around FFF 3D printed PEEK implants or abutments. SIGNIFICANCE This study indicates that the totarol coated PEEK has an improved antibacterial effect with excellent biocompatibility providing great clinical potential as an orthopedic/dental implant/abutment material.

Abstract
Streaming potential is created when an electrolyte solution is forced to flow pass a charged surface. For an uncoated fused silica capillary, the streaming potential is measured between the inlet and outlet vials while applying a pressure across the capillary. The changes in streaming potential can be used to characterize the properties of the capillary inner surface. In this work, HCl, NaCl, and NaOH solutions ranging from 0.4 to 6 mM were used as the background electrolyte (BGE) at temperatures of 15 to 35 °C for the mesurements. The streaming potential decreases with the increase in BGE concentration, and the trend is amplified at higher temperatures. When buffer solutions in the pH range of 1.5 to 12.7 were used as the BGE, streaming potential was shown to be sensitive to changes in pH but reaches a maximum at around 9.5. At pH < 3.3, no streaming potentials were observed. The pH of zero surface charge (streaming potential equals 0) changes with temperature, and is measured to be 3.3 to 3.1 when the temperature is changed from 15 to 35°C. Zeta potentials can be calculated from the measured streaming potential, conductivity, and the solution viscosity. Surface charge densities were calculated in this work using the zeta potentials obtained. We demonstrated that capillary surface conditions can significantly change the streaming potential, and with three different solutions, we showed that analyte-dependent adsorption can be monitored and mitigated to improve the peak symmetry and migration times reproducibility.

Abstract
X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) was used to characterize the nitrogen species in perfluorophenylazide (PFPA) self-assembled monolayers. PFPA chemistry is a novel immobilization method for tailoring the surface properties of materials. It is a simple route for the efficient immobilization of graphene, proteins, carbohydrates and synthetic polymers onto a variety of surfaces. Upon light irradiation, the azido group in PFPA is converted to a highly reactive singlet nitrene species that readily undergoes CH insertion and C=C addition reactions. Here, the challenge of characterizing the PFPA modified surfaces was addressed by detailed XPS experimental analyses. The three nitrogen peaks detected in the XPS N1s spectra were assigned to amine/amide (400.5 eV) and azide (402.1 and 405.6 eV) species. The observed 2:1 ratio of the areas from the 402.1 eV to 405.6 eV peaks suggests the assignment of the peak at 402.1 eV to the two outer nitrogen atoms in the azido group and assignment of the peak at 405.6 eV to the central nitrogen atom in the azido group. The azide decomposition as the function of x-ray exposure was also determined. Finally, XPS analyses were conducted on patterned graphene to investigate the covalent bond formation between the PFPA and graphene. This study provides strong evidence for the formation of covalent bonds during the PFPA photocoupling process.
