Vacuum plasma sprayed (VPS) Ti coatings were deposited and their surface modification processes were performed by NaOH solution treatment and alkali-heat-calcification respectively. The simulated body fluid test indicated that apatite was formed on the surfaces of Ti coatings. A net-like structure was observed on the surfaces of Ti coatings treated by alkali-heat-calcification, whose bioactivity is much better than that treated by NaOH aqueous solution simply.

Vacuum plasma sprayed (VPS) hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings with silver-loaded zirconium phosphate antimicrobial have been prepared on titanium substrate. Antibacterial effects of the coatings were studied by bacteria culturing using Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg), Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) and Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans (Aa) as microorganisms. Simulated body fluid (SBF) test was carried out to evaluate the bioactivity of the coatings as well. The results obtained showed that the coatings exhibited a marked antibacterial effect against Pg, Fn and Aa when the content of antimicrobial was equal to or more than 5%. The antibacterial capability of the coatings decreased in the following order: Pg, Fn, Aa. Bone-like apatite layer was formed on the silver-containing HA coatings after immersed in SBF, suggesting that their bioactivities were not affected obviously by the addition of silver-zirconium phosphate antimicrobial. This study indicated that silver-containing VPS HA coating is a prospective candidate as dental material.

The present investigation was carried out to optimize the hydrogen fluoride (HF) aqueous solution treatment for an Mg-2.5Zn-0.5Zr alloy, in order to improve the corrosion resistance of the material for orthopaedic applications. An MgF2 coating was formed on the surface of Mg-2.5Zn-0.5Zr alloy treated with HF solution. The effect of the HF concentration and processing time on the morphology and electrochemical performance of the MgF2 coating was systematically studied. The results showed that the MgF2 coating became thick gradually with the increase of the concentration of HF solution. However, the pinhole on the surface treated with 40% HF increased significantly. The coating thickness immersed in the same concentration of HF solution increased with immersion time, and cracks formed in the surface after four hours of immersion, resulting in a decrease in the corrosion potential. When the alloy was immersed in the HF solution with a concentration 20% at 37°C for 2h, a uniform and dense fluoride coating was formed, with a thickness of MgF2 layer of about 0.5μm. The corrosion potential of the coated Mg alloy in simulated body fluid (SBF) was 0.28V higher than the uncoated one. In addition, the fluoride-coated showed a good biocompatibility.

Biomaterials with good biocompatibility and anti-bacterial property were becoming attractive to researchers, so we used the chemical method to produce anti-bacterial vacuum plasma sprayed titanium coatings and studied In vitro bioactivity, cytotoxicity and blood compatibility of the anti-bacterial coatings in this paper. In order to evaluate the bioactivity of the treated titanium coatings, the coatings were immersed in simulated body fluid (SBF). The treated titanium coatings showed good bioactivity in this experiment. Two different methods were used to assess the cytocompatibility of the treated titanium coatings. One was extract test; the other was direct contact test. The results indicated that cells spread and adhered well on the coatings. The blood compatibility of the coatings was evaluated by haemolysis ratios. The hemolysis ratios of the coatings were below 2%, indicating of nonhemolysis for the coatings.

Ti-15Zr-4Nb-4Ta alloy is an attractive metal for orthopaedic implants, since it is free from cytotoxic elements and shows high mechanical strength. It was recently shown by an animal experiment [1] that this alloy tightly bonds to living bone, when it was subjected to 5 M NaOH solution and 100 mM CaCl2 solution treatments, heat treatment at 600 or 700 °C, and final water treatment at 80 °C. The bonding strength was increased markedly when the heat treatment temperature was increased from 600 to 700 °C. This increase of the bonding strength was attributed to the increase in apatite-forming ability of the treated alloy in a simulated body fluid (SBF) [2] with ion concentrations nearly equal to human blood plasma, although its reason was not revealed yet.

AbstractSolid fusion at the bone-implant interface (BII) is considered one of the indicators of a satisfactory clinical outcome for spine surgery. Although the mechanical and physical properties of nanohydroxyapatite/polyamide66 (n-HA/PA66) offers many advantages, the results of long-term follow-up for BIIs remain limited. This study aimed to improve the BII of n-HA/PA66 by applying plasma-sprayed titanium (PST) and assessing the mechanical and histological properties. After the PST coating was applied to n-HA/PA66 implants, the coating had uneven, porous surfaces. The compression results were not significantly different between the two groups. The micro-CT results demonstrated that at 6 weeks and 12 weeks, the bone volume (BV), BV/tissue volume (TV) and trabecular number (Tb.N) values of the n-HA/PA66-PST group were significantly higher than those of the n-HA/PA66 group. The results of undecalcified bone slicing showed that more new bone appeared to form around n-HA/PA66-PST implant than around n-HA/PA66 implant. The bone-implant contact (BIC) and push-out test results of the n-HA/PA66-PST group were better than those of the n-HA/PA66 group. In conclusion, after PST coating, direct and additional new bone-to-implant bonding could be achieved, improving the BII of n-HA/PA66 implants. The n-HA/PA66-PST implants could be promising for repair purposes.
