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.

Corrosion Behaviors

The manufacturing of different Ti-6Al-xV (x = 2, 4, 6, and 8 wt.%) alloys using a mechanical alloying technique was reported. The corrosion behaviors of these newly fabricated alloys after 1, 24, and 48 h exposure to a simulated body fluid (SBF) were assessed using cyclic potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and chronoamperometric measurements. Surface morphology and elemental analyses after corrosion for 48 h in SBF were reported using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) examinations. An X-ray diffraction investigation characterized the phase analyses. All results indicated that the increase of V content significantly decreases both uniform and pitting corrosion. This effect also increases with prolonging the immersion time to 48 h before measurement.

Hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings were deposited onto Ti6Al4V substrate by microplasma spraying (MPS) in the current research. The morphology, phase compositions, and percentage of crystallinity of the coatings were characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction. An in vitro evaluation by soaking the coatings in simulated body fluid (SBF) for up to 14 days was conducted aiming at the evaluation of their bioactivity. Results from the present investigation suggest that microplasma sprayed HA coatings exhibited certain roughness, pores, and microcracks. Thermal decomposition existed in the coatings where HA, α-TCP，β-TCP, amorphous phases, and CaO-exclusive impurities were observed. The in vitro test indicated that HA coatings deposited by MPS possessed better bioactivity and stability. A layer of carbonate-apatite covered most of the coating surface, which did not exhibit significant spalling after incubation in SBF.

Nanostructured Titania

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.

The core/shell structured rutile/apatite was prepared by soaking rutile TiO2 (R-TiO2) microspheres into a simulated body fluid (SBF) only for 1 day. The as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and N2 adsorption measurements. XRD showed that the apatite content increased with prolonging the soaking time or increasing the SBF concentration. TEM and EDX demonstrated that apatite had been coated on the surface of R-TiO2 microspheres successfully. HRTEM indicated that the lattice spacings of 0.27 nm and 0.32 nm were assigned to (211) plane of apatite and (101) plane of R-TiO2, respectively.

An environment-friendly technique for depositing a Mg–Al hydrotalcite (HT) (Mg6Al2(OH)[Formula: see text]-CO[Formula: see text]H2O) conversion film was developed to protect the Mg–Gd–Zn alloy from corrosion. The morphology and chemical compositions of the film were analyzed by scanning electronic microscope (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy (RS), respectively. The electrochemical test and hydrogen evolution test were employed to evaluate the biocorrosion behavior of Mg–Gd–Zn alloy coated with the Mg–Al HT film in the simulated body fluid (SBF). It was found that the formation of Mg–Al HT film was a transition from amorphous precursor to a crystalline HT structure. The HT film can effectively improve the corrosion resistance of magnesium alloy. It indicates that the process provides a promising approach to modify Mg–Gd–Zn alloy.

Biomimetic Method

Hydroxyapatite (HA) powders were directly synthesized in simulated body fluid (SBF) at 37°C, without the need for high-temperature calcified. These powders were found to contain trace amount of CO32-, Cl-, Na+ and K+ impurities, originated from the of SBF solutions during their deposition. The characterizations of the synthesized HA powders were performed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transformed infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR) and Transmission electron microscope (TEM). The experimental results showed that the HA synthesized by the SBF route might be more close to that human bone in structure and compositions. Furthermore, the processes flow for HA synthesis was optimized and the synthesized mechanism was also discussed.

Layer Deposition

Nitinol is a group of nearly equiatomic alloys composed of nickel and titanium, which was developed in the 1970s. Its properties, such as superelasticity and Shape Memory Effect, have enabled its use, especially for biomedical purposes. Due to the fact that Nitinol exhibits good corrosion resistance in a chloride environment, an unusual combination of strength and ductility, a high tendency for self-passivation, high fatigue strength, low Young’s modulus and excellent biocompatibility, its use is still increasing. In this research, Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) experiments were performed on a continuous vertical cast (CVC) NiTi rod (made in-house) and on commercial Nitinol as the control material, which was already in the rolled state. The ALD deposition of the TiO2 layer was accomplished in a Beneq TFS 200 system at 250 °C. The pulsing times for TiCl4 and H2O were 250 ms and 180 ms, followed by appropriate purge cycles with nitrogen (3 s after the TiCl4 and 2 s after the H2O pulses). After 1100 repeated cycles of ALD depositing, the average thickness of the TiO2 layer for the CVC NiTi rod was 52.2 nm and for the commercial Nitinol, it was 51.7 nm, which was confirmed by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) using Energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy. The behaviour of the CVC NiTi and commercial Nitinol with and without the TiO2 layer was investigated in a simulated body fluid at body temperature (37 °C) to explain their corrosion resistance. Potentiodynamic polarisation measurements showed that the lowest corrosion current density (0.16 μA/cm2) and the wider passive region were achieved by the commercial NiTi with TiO2. Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy measurements revealed that the CVC NiTi rod and the commercial Nitinol have, for the first 48 h of immersion, only resistance through the oxide layer, as a consequence of the thin and compact layer. On the other hand, the TiO2/CVC NiTi rod and TiO2/commercial Nitinol had resistances through the oxide and porous layers the entire immersion time since the TiO2 layer was formatted on the surfaces.

Biomechanical Compatibility

Titania ceramics is lack of bone-bonding ability even if it has excellent biocompatibility. Recently, it is even found that the nanophase titania ceramics could enhance the proliferation of osteoblasts. If the bone-bonding ability of this material is improved, it would be a potential bone replacement material. Bioactive glass-ceramic (BGC) is provided with the best bioactivity in biomaterials. In this study, the apatite formation ability and the mechanic properties of titania ceramic were investigated by the accession of BGC. Four samples: TiO2 ceramic, TiO2 +10%BGC, TiO2 +20%BGC and BGC were prepared respectively. These ceramics were exposed to a simulated body fluid (SBF) for 7, 14 and 21d. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray detector (EDX) and thin film X-ray diffraction (TF-XRD) results showed that the apatite formation of the ceramics was improved by adding BGC into nanophase titania ceramic. The mechanical analysis showed the biomechanical compatibility was also improved by adding BGC into nanophase titania ceramic.

The ISO 5832-1 austenitic stainless steel used as biomaterial is largely applied in the area of orthopedics, especially in the manufacture of implants, such as temporary or permanent replacement of bone structures. The objective of this study was to evaluate the localized corrosion resistance of the ISO 5832-1 stainless steel used in orthopedic implants by electrochemical tests in two different solutions. The results of this study are of great interest to evaluate the corrosion of metallic implants that can result in the release of corrosion products into bodily fluids causing possible adverse biological reactions. The determination of the chemical elements in the composition of the ISO 5832-1 stainless steel was performed by neutron activation analysis (NAA). The samples for electrochemical tests were grinded with silicon carbide paper up to #4000 finishing, followed by mechanical polishing with diamond paste. The open circuit potential measurements and anodic polarization curves were obtained in solution of 0.90 wt. % of NaCl and of simulated body fluid (SBF). The results indicated that the ISO 5832-1 stainless steel presented a high resistance to crevice corrosion in simulated body fluid solution but high susceptibility to this form of corrosion in the chloride solution.
