Na2O-CaO-P2O5-SiO2-Al2O3 (NCPSA) glass was investigated in its electrical polarizability by complex impedance and thermally stimulated depolarization current (TSDC) measurements. Moreover, the NCPSA glass was also subjected to a chemical treatment for bioactivity improvement. The effects of the electrical polarization and the chemical treatment on apatite formability of NCPSA glass were investigated by immersion test using simulated body fluid. From the result of complex impedance measurements, the activation energies for electrical conductivities NCPSA glass was 1.1eV. From the TSDC measurements, the polarized NCPSA glass showed monotonically increasing curves in depolarization current density spectra. The stored electrical charge calculated from TSDC measurements of the NCPSA glass polarized with electrical dc field of 2kV・cm-1 at 600°C for 1h was 4.91 mC・cm-2. The NCPSA glass treated with 1M NaOH indicated apatite formability in SBF and exhibited bioactivity. We disclosed that the combination of electropolarization and chemical treatment changed the apatite formability of the NCPSA glass in SBF, consequently, improved the bioactivity of the glass.

We investigated the electrical polarizability of MgO and B2O3 containing bioactive glass (MBG). The MBG material with good manufacturing properties but low bioactivity was electrically polarized at a high dc field. The electrical polarizability of MBG was evaluated by thermally stimulated depolarization current (TSDC) measurements and immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF). The early precipitation of calcium phosphate on the negatively charged surface of the treated MBG demonstrated the increased bioactivity of the material and confirmed its polarizability. It is suggested that the electrical interactions between the polarized MBG and ions in SBF promoted the formation of the calcium phosphate precipitation. Accordingly, the increased bioactivity of the MBG in SBF is suggested to demonstrate the conversion of MBG into electrovector ceramics by the polarization treatment.

In this work, ZK60 magnesium alloy was employed as a substrate material to produce ceramic coatings, containing Ca and P, by micro-arc oxidation (MAO). Atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) was used to prepare the hydroxyapatite layer (HA) on the MAO coating to obtain a composite coating for better biological activity. The coatings were examined by various means including an X-ray diffractometer, a scanning electron microscope and an energy spectrometer. Meanwhile, an electrochemical examination, immersion test and tensile test were used to evaluate the in vitro performance of the composite coatings. The results showed that the composite coating has a better corrosion resistance. In addition, this work proposed a degradation model of the composite coating in the simulated body fluid immersion test. This model explains the degradation process of the MAO/APS coating in SBF.

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.

An electrovector effect of the polarized hydroxyapatite (HA) on crystal growth in a simulated body fluid was clarified to discuss the role of the polarization energy in the effect. The polarization of the HA carried out in high dc field at 300-600°C was confirmed by thermally stimulated depolarization current measurements. The dependence of the thickness of the crystal grown layer on the induced charge was remarkably indicated in the modification of the growth rates. The growth rate under an optimum polarization condition was estimated to be almost 3 times of that by the biomimetic method. At the early stage of the crystal growth, the grown crystals were spherical and their sizes were dependent on the field strength and time for polarization. The polarization is therefore considered to effect the nucleation as well as the crystal growth.

Biodegradable implant is an alternative to metallic implant and has the advantage of not being necessary to remove once the fracture has healed. Magnesium is particularly desirable since it is biocompatible and has a modulus of elasticity closer to bone. In addition, it shows ability to biodegrade in situ, when used as an implant material. In this research, different percentages of calcium were added to magnesium during melting of the alloy. A selected alloy was forged at different parameters. Both as cast and forged alloys were subjected to polarization test performed in Kokubo simulated body fluid. Immersion test in the fluid was conducted for 96 hours to investigate the formation, growth and morphology of the hydroxyapatite on the surface of the alloys. The results showed that similar electrochemical behaviour took place in the alloys regardless of the calcium content. However, an increase in corrosion rate was observed with increasing calcium content. It was also observed that forging process decreased the corrosion resistance of the alloy. Furthermore, increasing calcium content accelerated the growth of bone-like apatite in the alloy.

Induction of an apatite-forming ability on a 100% Y2O3-ZrO2, 100% Al2O3, and 80/20 and 20/80 wt% of zirconia-alumina (Y2O3-ZrO2-Al2O3) composite polycrystals via chemical treatment with 5M H3PO4 have been investigated. The chemical treatments produced Zr-O surface functional groups, which are known to be effective for apatite nucleation in simulated body fluid. It’s believed that Al-OH surface functional groups are not effective for apatite nucleation. I this work was shown that apatite nucleates in substrate of alumina treat and untreated chemically. This implies that Al- OH functional groups are effective for apatite nucleation.

ABSTRACTThe surface of Ti-based bulk metallic glass (BMG) was irradiated by the femto-second laser and microgrooves were formed on the surface. The titanate nanomesh layers were fabricated on the micro-grooved BMG surface by hydrothermal-electrochemical (H-E) treatment changing the conditions of the concentration of electrolyte solution (0 and 5 M) and applying current density (0-200 mA/cm2). The bone-inducing capacity of the samples with different H-E treatment was confirmed by soaking them in a simulated body fluid for 12 days. The H-E treatment in higher concentration 5 M NaOH aq. and applying higher current density above 0.5 mA/cm2 exhibited excellent bioactivity inducing large hydroxyapatite crystallites.

Porous HA ceramics has been developed for the scaffold materials because the porous structure has been recognized to be necessary to invasion of body fluid and ingrowth of bone. The synthesized porous HA ceramics with several porosities were electrically polarized, and then the TSDC spectra were measured. The maximum electric current density and the stored polarization charges decreased with increasing the porosity. Therefore it was thought that the decreasing the amount of proton of porous HA ceramics was one of the reasons of decreasing of the maximum electric current densities and the stored charges. The simulated body fluid (SBF) test implied that electrovector effects enhanced the apatite formabilities.
