The formation of bone-like apatite on the biocomposite surfaces in simulated body fluid(SBF) was analyzed by digital pH meter,plasma emission spectrometer,scanning electron microscope(SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray energy spectrometer(EDX). The results indicate that the pH value in SBF varies slightly during the immersion. It is a dynamic process of dissolution-precipitation for the formation of apatite on the surface. With prolonging immersion time,Ca and P ion concentrations increase gradually,and then approach equilibrium. The bone-like apatite layer forms on the composites surface,which possesses benign bioactivity and favorable biocompatibility and achieves osseointegration,and can provide firm fixation between HA60/316L SS composite implants and human body bone.展开更多

The effects of the surface hydroxyl groups and the sign of surface charge on the nucleation of calcium phosphate are reviewed. One major controversy among the conclusions of different studies is the order of adsorption of the calcium ions and the phosphate ions in the initial stage of immersion. A simple model based on the amphoteric nature of the hydroxyl groups on Ti is proposed in an attempt to delineate the nucleation process for calcium phosphate on Ti in simulated body fluids. HPO4^2- ions interact with the hydroxyl groups via ion exchange and/or electrostatic attraction, and Ca^2＋ ions, via electrostatic attraction only. There is no preferential order of adsorption. Seemingly inconsistent results in different studies possibly arise from different prior treatments of the samples, which affect the adsorption properties.展开更多

The products were characterized by TGA-DTA, XRD, FT-IR, SEM-EDS, TEM and XPS techniques. The results indicate the presence of two polymorphic phases of wollastonite, the β-wollastonite and α-wollastonite with a transition temperature of the β phase to α phase at approximately 1250℃. These materials were soaked in a simulated body fluid (SBF) during 1, 2 and 3 weeks, to study their solubility and bioactivity. The effect of different wollastonite phases on the solubility of Ca and Si, as well as the capacity of producing layers of “newly formed apatite” on the surfaces of these materials in SBF solution were analyzed.展开更多

X-ray diffractometry(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDX) attached to SEM were used to characterize surface structure and the Ca-P coatings. Effects of the above surface treatments on the surface morphology, apatite forming ability were systematically investigated. Results indicate that all the above surface treatments increase the apatite forming ability of TiNi alloys in varying degrees when soaked in simulated body fluid(SBF). More apatite coatings formed on TiNi samples sintered at 1050℃ and 1100℃ due to their high porosity and pure TiNi phase that is beneficial to heterogeneous nucleation. Furthermore, more uniform apatite was fabricated on the sample sintered from the mixture of Ni and Ti powders.展开更多

The results indicate that the corrosion of Ringer’s solution is the strongest, then followed by PBS(-) and Hank’s solution. The presence of HPO 2- 4, H 2PO - 4, SO 2- 4 and glucose in the PBS(-)and Hank’s solution probably reduces the corrosion inhibitor and corrosion current. The decrease of the solution’s pH significantly increases the corrosion rate and susceptibility to localized corrosion of SUS316L SS and Co Cr alloy. However, Ti 6Al 4V alloy exhibits an exceptional stability and has only a slight increase of corrosion rate with decreasing pH.展开更多
