Among bioceramics materials, bioglasses which exhibits either a bioactive or resorbable behavior has been studied for many applications, such as bone substitutive and regeneration. When in contact with body fluid, the bioglasses can induce the formation of a hydroxyapatite surface layer. In this paper, we studied the bioactivity of a bioglass containing 48 wt %SiO2, 27 wt% Na2O, 19 wt % CaO and 6 wt %P2O5. After fusion and annealing, the samples were immersed in SBF for different periods, up to 14 days. The samples were characterized through XRD, DRIFT and SEM before and after bioactivity experiments. The overall results suggest the formation of a surface layer of consisting of hydroxyapatite, which was crystallized within seven days after in vitro experiments, leading to a suitable bioactivity. Moreover, the samples showed a glass network with high cohesion due to calcium addition, leading to materials with high corrosion resistance.

Nanostructured titania/hydroxyapatite (HA) composite layer was developed on commercially pure titanium (Cp Ti) implant material by plasma electrolytic processing (PEP) technique in order to improve its bioactivity and corrosion resistance under physiological conditions. The phases present in the developed composite layer were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. The surface morphology and thickness of the composite layers were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The corrosion characteristics of the developed layer were studied by potentiodynamic polarization scan under simulated body fluid (7.4 pH Hanks solution) and simulated osteoclast (4.5 pH) conditions. The in-vitro bioactivity of the composite layers was studied by using Kokubu’s simulated body fluid (SBF) solution. The X-ray diffractograms reveal the presence of anatase TiO2 and HA phases in the developed layer. The SEM results confirm the pore-free morphology of the implant material surface and the thickness of the developed composite layer was observed to be 110 ± 5 µm for 12 min of PEP. The potentiodynamic polarization study shows an improved corrosion resistance and the in-vitro bioactivity test results indicate enhanced apatite forming ability of PEP treated Cp Ti surfaces compared to that of the untreated Cp Ti, under simulated body fluid conditions.

In recent years, smart implants take the most attention in the field of bone manufacturing. Our study seeks to develop the biodegradability of Mg alloys to use orthopedic implants for the biomedical applications to avoid post removal of the implant. Mg and Zn are very important to human body and have no toxicity. Mg - 6% wt Zn biodegradability is studied in simulated body fluid for two and four weeks. Four electro-deposition bathes are used to deposit a coat on the substrate to improve the corrosion resistance of this alloy in the media of simulated body fluid. The following analyses were studied to emphasize the research aim. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Energy dispersive X-Ray (EDX) analysis shows the surface morphology and the elements of the coat phases components. The results also confirmed by X-Ray diffraction Pattern (XRD) that show the phases that confirmed the formation of hydroxyapatite HA phase, Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) to investigate the functional groups of the phases coats that confirm the formation of hydroxyapatite and the electrochemical measurements that investigate the improvement of corrosion resistance. The results indicated that the fourth bath gives the best coat and four weeks immersion gives more corrosion resistance than two weeks.

A binary Mg-4Zn alloy was fabricated as a potential degradable biomaterial. To improve the corrosion resistance of Mg-4Zn alloy, an amorphous micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coating was prepared on the Mg-4Zn substrate. Electrochemical measurements and immersion tests were employed to evaluate the corrosion resistance of the specimen in simulated body fluid (SBF). Electrochemical measurements show that the Mg-4Zn alloy covered with a MAO coating has a much lower corrosion current density and a much greater polarization resistance. Immersion tests suggest that the degradation of Mg-4Zn substrate is relatively serious during the initial 8 h of immersion although it has been protected by a MAO coating. When most micro-pores within the MAO coating have been filled with precipitates resulted from the corrosion of the metal substrate, the degradation of the Mg-4Zn substrate is significantly delayed.
