In vitro biocompatibility of titanium-nickel alloy with titanium oxide film by H_2O_2 oxidation

Titanium oxide film with a graded interface to NiTi matrix was synthesized in situ on NiTi shape memory alloy(SMA) by oxidation in H2O2 solution. In vitro studies including contact angle measurement, hemolysis, MTT cytotoxicity and cell morphology tests were employed to investigate the biocompatibility of the H2O2-oxidized NiTi SMAs with this titanium oxide film. The results reveal that wettability, blood compatibility and fibroblasts compatibility of NiTi SMA are improved by the coating of titanium oxide film through H2O2 oxidation treatment.

Investigation of a novel self-sealing pore micro-arc oxidation film on AM60 magnesium alloy

Micro-arc oxidation(MAO)is one of the promising methods to improve the corrosion resistance of magnesium alloys.However,there are plenty of micro-pores in the traditional MAO films,deteriorating their protection property.A novel self-sealing pore MAO film was developed in this paper.The morphologies and chemical composition of the film were detected by scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDX).The corrosion behavior was investigated by electrochemical and salt spray tests.The possible film formation and corrosion mechanisms were proposed.The self-sealing pore film presents a blue appearance.Most of the micro-pores in the surface of the film are sealed during the film formation process.The chemical composition of the film mainly contains Mg,O,Ti,F and P.The self-sealing pore film exhibits better corrosion resistance compared with the traditional silicate film.Especially,the self-sealing pore film keeps intact after salt spray test for 2000 h,which can be attributed to its high compactness.

在新型近β钛合金TLM(Ti-3Zr-2Sn-3Mo-15Nb)表面分别用3种不同的微弧氧化工艺(普通微弧氧化、复相微弧氧化、紫外光照射微弧氧化)镀上一层TiO2薄膜,并考察了3种薄膜的亲水性和抗腐蚀性能。XRD和SEM测试结果表明,3种微弧氧化膜均是多孔膜,主要由金红石相和锐钛矿相组成,普通微弧氧化法和紫外光照射微弧氧化法制备的薄膜表面更为光滑;接触角测试结果表明,紫外光照射微弧氧化膜的表面亲水性最好;电化学腐蚀实验显示,3种工艺所得的氧化膜都具有较好的抗腐蚀性能,普通微弧氧化膜的抗腐蚀能力稍好于另外两种薄膜。

Biodegradation behavior of micro-arc oxidation coating on magnesium alloy-from a protein perspective

Protein exerts a critical influence on the degradation behavior of absorbable magnesium(Mg)-based implants.However,the interaction mechanism between protein and a micro-arc oxidation(MAO)coating on Mg alloys remains unclear.Hereby,a MAO coating was fabricated on AZ31 Mg alloy.And its degradation behavior in phosphate buffer saline(PBS)containing bovine serum albumin(BSA)was investigated and compared with that of the uncoated alloy.Surface morphologies and chemical compositions were studied using Field-emission scanning electron microscope(FE-SEM),Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer(FT-IR)and X-ray diffraction(XRD).The degradation behavior of the bare Mg alloy and its MAO coating was studied through electrochemical and hydrogen evolution tests.Cytotoxicity assay was applied to evaluate the biocompatibility of Mg alloy substrate and MAO coating.Results indicated that the presence of BSA decreased the degradation rate of Mg alloy substrate because BSA(RCH(NH2)COO‾)molecules combined with Mg2+ions to form(RCH(NH2)COO)2Mg and thus inhibited the dissolution of Mg(OH)2 by impeding the attack of Cl‾ions.In the case of MAO coated Mg alloy,the adsorption of BSA on MAO coating and the formation of(RCH(NH2)COO)2Mg exhibited a synergistic effect and enhanced the corrosion resistance of the coated alloy significantly.Furthermore,cell bioactive assay suggested that the MAO coating had good viability for MG63 cells due to its high surface area.

Comparison of the corrosion behavior of AM60 Mg alloy with and without self-healing coating in atmospheric environment

Coatings on the surface of Mg alloys are inevitably damaged during their practical applications,and corrosion can easily initiate from the damaged areas to accelerate the failure of Mg parts.A dual self-healing coating has already been developed to solve this problem in our previous work.Considering the practical application of this coating,it is necessary to investigate its service behavior in atmospheric environment.Thus,the corrosion behavior of AM60 Mg substrate with and without the self-healing coating was compared in Shenyang industrial atmospheric environment.The results show that the enrichment of sediments and rainwater on the scratch areas can accelerate the corrosion of the exposed Mg substrate.The inhibitors can be released from the damaged coating to inhibit corrosion.The dual self-healing coating shows better inhibition ability to narrow scratches due to the higher inhibitor concentration and less resumption.Also,the coating with wide scratches displays enough inhibition ability as well.The dual self-healing coating is a good alternative for Mg alloy parts in the practical applications.
