纳米晶状磷酸钙盐/Al2O3-Ti生物复合材料的制备与结构表征

0引言众所周知,钛及其合金具有优良的机械力学性能,但其生物活性不足。因此,在金属基体上涂敷一层生物活性涂层,结合金属与生物活性材料的各自优势,已成为世界各国学者研究最为活跃的生物复合材料体系之一。该体系可用于临床医学,作为人体硬组织等的修复替换材料。目前,已开发出多种在金属基体上制备生物活性涂层的工艺和方法。如:等离子沉积法[1]、离子束溅射法[2]、激光熔覆法[3]、溶胶鄄凝胶法[4]、电化学沉积与水热处理合成法[5]、电泳沉积[6]、电结晶[7]等多种方法。但现有涂层材料尚存在一些问题:(1)由于替换材料的高硬度而导致其周围硬组织坏死[8];(2)由于疲劳磨损或热膨胀不匹配引起涂层脱落[9];(3)由于异质相导致生物活性降解[10]。因此,研究新的制备工艺,开发新的生物复合材料体系就显得十分重要。考虑到Al2O3具有优异的抗磨损、耐腐蚀等性能,以及较好的生物相容性,常作为临床选用的人造硬组织承载材料[11],故在本研究工作中,我们首次采用阳极氧化与水热处理复合工艺研制酸式磷酸钙/Al2O3鄄Ti生物复合材料体系。该体系不同于由日本Ishizawa等研制的HAp/TiO2鄄Ti复合体系[12]。主要体现在两...

Preparation and Characterization of Nanocrystalline Calcium Phosphate/Al2O3-Ti Biocomposite

This work aims at developing a new and reliable biomaterial for implant application by fabricating calcium phosphate/Al₂O₃biocomposite coating on medical titanium using a hybrid technique of anodic oxidation and hydrothermal treatment. The pre- and post-anodized samples were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive analysis of X-ray (EDAX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The results indicated that porous anodic alumina film containing Ca and P was obtained on the as-prepared Al-Ti substrate through anodization, and the subsequent hydrothermal treatment led to the formation of calcium phosphate crystals. SEM and TEM results showed that calcium phosphate crystals were in nanometer, in-situ embedded in the walls of the cylindrical structure of anodic alumina, and finally formed a thin and porous top layer on the anodic alumina layer. The nanometer effect of calcium phosphate top layer, the porous and cylindrical microstructure of calcium phosphate/Al₂O₃-Ti, and the in-situ growth effect are expect to possess a very good combination of bioactivity and mechanical integrity.
