摘要
Magnesium （Mg） alloys are receiving increasing attention for body implants owing to their good bio- compatibility and biodegradability. However, they often suffer from bacterial infections on account of their insufficient antibacterial ability. In this study, ZK60-xCu （x = O, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8 wt%） alloys were prepared by selective laser melting （SLM） with alloying copper （Cu） to enhance their antibacterial ability. Results showed that ZK60-Cu alloys exhibited strong antibacterial ability due to combination of release of Cu ions and alkaline environment which could kill bacteria by destroying cellular membrane structure, denaturing enzymes and inhibiting deoxyribonucleic acid （DNA） replication. In addition, their compres- sive strength increased due to grain refinement and uniformly dispersing of short-bar shaped MgZnCu phases. Moreover, ZK60-Cu alloys also exhibited good cytocompatibility. In summary, ZK60-Cu alloys with antibacterial ability may be Dromising implants for biomedical anDlications.
