Electrophoretic deposition of nanostructured-TiO2/chitosan composite coatings on stainless steel

Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) has been successfully used to deposit composite coatings composed of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles on 316L stainless steel substrates. The suspensions of TiO2 nanoparticles and PEEK microparticles for EPD were prepared in ethanol. PEEK-TiO2 composite coatings were optimized using suspensions containing 6wt% PEEK-TiO2 in ethanol with a 3:1 ratio of PEEK to TiO2 in weight and by applying a potential difference of 30 V for 1 minute. A heat-treatment process of the optimized PEEK-TiO2 composite coatings was performed at 335°C for 30 minutes with a heating rate of 10°Cminto densify the deposits. The EPD coatings were microstructurally evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was demonstrated that EPD is a convenient and rapid method to fabricate PEEK/TiO2 coatings on stainless steel which are interesting for biomedical applications.

Abstract This paper presents the results of the optimization of electrophoretic deposition parameters for manufacturing of nc-TiO2/chitosan composite coatings on X2CrNiMo17-12-2 steel as well as characterization of their microstructure, electrochemical properties and adhesion to the substrate. The parameters of the deposition, such as composition, pH and zeta potential of suspensions as well as voltage and process time were investigated. The microstructure of the coatings was characterized using scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Obtained coatings were crack-free and uniform. The adhesion strength to the substrate was measured by scratch-test method. The deposited coatings improve corrosion resistance of steel, what was confirmed by the results of the potentiodynamic polarization test in Ringer’s solution.

Chitosan Composite

In this study, silver-strontium doped hydroxyapatite (AgSr-HA)/chitosan composite coatings were deposited on stainless steel (SS) substrate via electrophoretic deposition (EPD) technique. The EPD parameters such as the concentration of Ag Sr-HA particles in the suspension, applied voltage and deposition time were optimized on by the Taguchi Design of Experiment (DoE) approach. DOE approach elucidated that the “best” coating was obtained at; the deposition voltage of 20V, deposition time of 7 minutes, and at 5 g/L of Ag Sr-HA particles in the suspension. The optimum coatings were characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy. SEM images confirmed the deposition of chitosan/Ag Sr-HA on the SS substrate. The wettability studies indicated the hydrophilic nature of the chitosan/Ag Sr-HA coatings, which confirmed the suitability of the developed coatings for orthopedic applications. The average surface roughness of the chitosan/Ag Sr-HA coatings was in a suitable range for the attachment of bone marrow stromal cells. Chitosan/Ag Sr-HA coatings showed a potent antibacterial effect against the Gram-Positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

Thermal Gelation

Biodegradable polymers and bioactive ceramics are being combined in a variety of novel materials for tissue engineering scaffolds. These composite systems, which combine the useful mechanical properties of polymers with the bioactivity of ceramics, seem to be a promising choice for bone tissue engineering. In recent years, the use of biopolymers that gelate on cooling has received a lot of attention with regards to the production of laminates and coatings. In this work, we report the incorporation of hydroxyapatite (HA) into a gelatin coating on stainless steel substrate using colloidal processing technology. A titania (Ti) buffer layer prepared by dip coating was inserted to improve the bonding strength between the HA/gelatin layer and stainless steel substrate. The suspensions, composed of 1 vol% of HA and three different additions of gelatin, were formulated with a focus on rheological properties for codeposition of both phases by electrophoretic deposition (EPD). The composite coatings performed by EPD were investigated in terms of deposition efficiency and kinetics over different deposition times. The EPD process was performed at both ambient temperature and the gelling temperature of the suspension. While at room temperature no electrophoretic growth of the layers was observed, the thermal gelation of gelatin promotes the growth of a homogeneous, well-adherent coating.
