Micro-PIXE analysis of bioconductive hydroxyapatite coatings on titanium alloy

Bioconductive materials and in particular implants using Ti alloy (Ti6–Al4–V) coated with hydroxyapatite (HAp) have proved to be a suitable surgical procedure. However, experience has shown that these implants not always have the required reliability to guarantee their expected life-span of approximate 15 years. In this research, experimental Ti alloy-implants coated with HAp and incubated in a simulated body fluid (r-SBF) under controlled physiological conditions were studied by nuclear microprobe (NMP). Selected HAp coatings, were analysed by micro-PIXE using protons of 1.5 MeV at the iThemba LABS NMP facility. Major elements (Ti, Al, V, Ca and P) as well as trace elements (Si, K, Fe, Zn and Sr) were determined. The effect of longer incubation time was of particular interest. Results confirmed that secondary Ca-deficient defect hydroxyapatite precipitated from the simulated body solution onto the HAp coating surface after prolonged incubation. This newly formed layer is thought to be of vital importance for bonding of implants with living bone tissue.     

Electrophoretic Deposition of Hydroxyapatite Coatings on Metal Substrates: A Nanoparticulate Dual-Coating Approach

Hydroxyapatite coatings can be readily deposited on metal substrates by electrophoretic deposition. However, subsequent sintering is highly problematic owing to the fact that temperatures in excess of 1100°C are required for commercial hydroxyapatite powders to achieve high density. Such temperatures damage the metal and induce metal-catalysed decomposition of the hydroxyapatite. Furthermore, the firing shrinkage of the hydroxyapatite coating on a constraining metal substrate leads to severe cracking. The present study has overcome these problems using a novel approach: the use of aged nanoparticulate hydroxyapatite sols (lower sintering temperature) and a dual coating strategy that overcomes the cracking problem. Dual layers of uncalcined hydroxyapatite (HAp) powder were electrophoretically coated on Ti, Ti6Al4V and 316L stainless steel metal substrates, sintered at 875–1000°C, and characterised by SEM and XRD, and interfacial shear strength measurement. Dual coatings on stainless steel had an average high bond strength (about 23 MPa), and dual coatings on titanium and titanium alloy had moderate strengths (about 14 and 11 MPa, respectively), in comparison with the measured shear strength of bone (35 MPa). SEM and XRD demonstrated that the second layer blended seamlessly with the first and filled the cracks in the first. The superior result on stainless steel is attributed to a more appropriate thermal expansion match with hydroxyapatite, the thinner oxide layer, or a combination of these factors.     

Sintering of hydroxyapatite lath-like powders

Hydroxyapatite powders, which consisted of lath-like single-crystalline particles, were calcined at two different temperatures. Green and calcined powders were used for sintering HAp ceramic samples under uniaxial pressing. Powders and sintered samples were studied using various analytical techniques in order to determine how calcination affects the particle properties and the sintering behavior of HAp powders. It was found that calcination decreases the particles length and changes the particles morphology from lath-like to spherical shape. The relative density increases with increasing calcination temperature and aging time. It was found that long aging time favor the formation of thermally stable HAp particles, whereas a shorter one results in the formation of β-calcium phosphate during thermal treatment. Sintering of compacted powders begins at temperatures greater than 900°C, with a trend to increase the onset temperature as the calcination temperature is increased.     

Strontium-doped hardystonite plasma sprayed coatings with robust antimicrobial activity

A strontium-doped hardystonite (Sr-HT) bioceramic, in bulk form, demonstrates excellent bioactivity for bone regeneration with high fracture toughness and compressive strength. This work examines the antibacterial and mechanical properties of Sr-HT coatings on an alpha-beta titanium alloy with a high specific strength and excellent corrosion resistance (Ti-6Al-4V) produced by atmospheric plasma spray (APS) as the deposition coating technique. A hydroxyapatite (HAp) APS coating, a commercial bioceramic coating, is chosen as the control. The in-situ observation showed that Sr-HT powders experience temperatures during plasma processing that exceeded their melting point to form a coating well adhered to the substrate. It was demonstrated that the Sr-HT coating possessed superior antibacterial properties against Gram-positive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Gram-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In addition, the Sr-HT coating exhibits a uniform distribution of hardness and elastic moduli, higher nanohardness and elastic moduli compared to the equivalent properties of the HAp coating. Moreover, the Sr-HT coating outperforms the HAp coating regarding scratch and wear resistance. The bonding and shear strength of the Sr-HT coating are higher than the values required for orthopedic implant coatings. The Sr-HT coating also allows efficient zinc, silicon and strontium ions release when immersed in cell culture media. In summary, the antibacterial capabilities and the mechanical properties of the Sr-HT APS coating exceed those of the commercial HAp APS coating. Therefore, Sr-HT APS coatings are candidates for bioceramic coating applications in orthopedic implants.     

One-step approach for nano-crystalline hydroxyapatite coating on titanium via micro-arc oxidation

Nano-crystalline hydroxyapatite (HAp) films were formed at the surface of Ti by a single-step micro-arc oxidation (MAO) using Ca²⁺ and P⁵⁺ ion-containing electrolytes. The HAp films were 10–25 μm thick, showing strong crystallinity dependence on the CaCl₂ concentration in the electrolytes. Also, the formation of an amorphous CaTiO₃ interlayer was identified to exist between the HAp and Ti substrates. In contrast to the previous researches using K₂HPO₄ for the electrolytes, KH₂PO₄ was used in this study, and this could allow the formation of the crystalline HAp layer. It is suggested as the most probable mechanism for the HAp formation that the high-density hydroxyl groups of TiO(OH)₂, formed by the reactions between the amorphous CaTiO₃ interlayer and the H⁺ ions from the dissolution of the KH₂PO₄, can play a key role in the nucleation and crystal growth of HAp by attracting Ca²⁺ and P⁵⁺ ions in the electrolytes.     

添加碳纳米管对钌铱锡氧化物阳极性能的影响

Enhancing the stiffness of electrospun nanofiber scaffolds with a controlled surface coating and mineralization

A new method was developed to coat hydroxyapatite (HAp) onto electrospun poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanofibers for tendon-to-bone insertion site repair applications. Prior to mineralization, chitosan and heparin were covalently immobilized onto the surface of the fibers to accelerate the nucleation of bone-like HAp crystals. Uniform coatings of HAp were obtained by immersing the nanofiber scaffolds into a modified, 10-fold-concentrated simulated body fluid (m10SBF) for different periods of time. The new method resulted in thicker and denser coatings of mineral on the fibers compared to those produced by previously reported methods. Scanning electron microscopy measurements confirmed the formation of nanoscale HAp particles on the fibers. A mechanical property assessment demonstrated a higher stiffness with respect to previous coating methods. A combination of the nanoscale fibrous structure and bonelike mineral coating could mimic the structure, composition, and function of mineralized tissues.     

Surface chemical analysis and chromatographic characterization of polyethylenimine-coated hydroxyapatite with various amount of polyethylenimine

Polyethylenimine (PEI) has been widely used as a coating material to produce stationary phase for ion-exchange chromatography of biomolecules. However, a precise study of the PEI coating fraction has been lacking, despite such quantification being very important for fundamental research as well as identifying further industrial applications.In this study, we produced four types of PEI-coated hydroxyapatite (PEI-HAp) with various fractions of PEI (0.16%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%) using a spray-drying system to evaluate correlations between coating fractions and the thermochemical or chromatographic behaviors of theses products. The thermal analyses of these matrices showed two exothermic peaks when the PEI coating fraction exceeded 1.0%. The one peak indicated a PEI decomposition peak and the other would indicate bond dissociation of PEI layers formed over the HAp surface as the PEI concentration increased. Furthermore, the chromatographic analysis for the surface chemical characteristics showed the correlation between coating fraction and the retention time of protein or nucleotide. Acidic or phosphorylated proteins were more strongly adsorbed as the PEI coating fraction increased when the initial coating fraction was low, but at fraction exceeding 0.5%, constant retention was observed. The retention time of nucleotides increased in proportion to the fraction of PEI added. The good selectivity of PEI-HAp may be attributable to multifunctional interactions of electrostatic and bare Ca sites on HAp, not just the amino sites of PEI. These precise studies of PEI coating fraction are our original novel contributions, which could be achieved by quantitative consideration using thermal analysis and chromatography.     

Electrochemical Study of the Interactions of DNA with Redox‐Active Molecules Based on the Immobilization of dsDNA on the Sol‐Gel Derived Nano Porous Hydroxyapatite‐Polyvinyl Alcohol Hybrid Material Coating

A novel type of sol‐gel inorganic‐organic hybrid material coated on glassy carbon electrode used for immobilization of double‐stranded DNA (dsDNA) and study of dsDNA with redox‐active molecules was developed. The hybrid material coating was produced by sol‐gel method with nano hydroxyapatite (HAp)‐polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The optimum composition of the hybrid material was first examined, and the morphology of the nano HAp‐PVA coatings was investigated with the help of Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). DsDNA was immobilized in/on the nano HAp‐PVA hybrid coatings by adsorption and the characteristics of the dsDNA/HAp‐PVA/GCE were studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV) using the probes of Co(phen) and Fe(CN) . The results indicate that the dsDNA can be immobilized on the nano porous HAp‐PVA coating effectively and its stability can satisfy the necessity of study on the interactions of dsDNA with redox‐active molecules on the electrode surface. Co(bpy) and Co(phen) were used as the model molecule to study the interactions of dsDNA with redox‐active molecules. Information such as ratio (K_Ox/K_Red) of the binding constant for the oxidized and reduced forms of a bound species, interaction mode, including change in the mode of interaction, and “limiting” ratio K /K at zero ionic strength (μ) can be obtained using dsDNA/HAp‐PVA/GCE with about 2 μg of DNA samples.
