Electrophoretic deposition was used to deposit carbon nanotube/polyether ether ketone (CNTs/PEEK) composite coatings onto porous titanium-tantalum (Ti-30Ta) substrates at different PEEK concentrations (4.5, 6.0, and 7.5 mg/mL). Coatings were analyzed for thickness, porosity, surface roughness, micro...
