In this paper, hydroxyapatite-carbon nanotube/titania (HA-CNT/TiO(2)) double layer coatings were successfully developed on titanium (Ti) substrates intended for biomedical applications. A TiO(2) coating was firstly developed by anodization to improve bonding between HA and Ti, and then the layer of HA and CNTs was coated on the surface by the sol-gel process to improve the biocompatibility and mechanical properties of Ti. The surfaces of double layer coatings were uniform and crack-free with a thickness of about 7 μm. The bonding strength of the HA-CNT/TiO(2) coating was higher than that of the pure HA and HA-CNT coatings. Additionally, in vitro cell experiments showed that CNTs promoted the adhesion of preosteoblasts on the HA-CNT/TiO(2) double layer coatings. These unique surfaces combined with the osteoconductive properties of HA exhibited the excellent mechanical properties of CNTs. Therefore, the developed HA-CNT/TiO(2) coatings on Ti substrates might be a promising material for bone replacement.
在本文中,成功地在用于生物医学应用的钛(Ti)基底上制备了羟基磷灰石-碳纳米管/二氧化钛(HA-CNT/TiO₂)双层涂层。首先通过阳极氧化制备TiO₂涂层以改善HA与Ti之间的结合,然后通过溶胶-凝胶法在表面涂覆HA和CNT层以改善Ti的生物相容性和机械性能。双层涂层表面均匀且无裂纹,厚度约为7μm。HA-CNT/TiO₂涂层的结合强度高于纯HA和HA-CNT涂层。此外,体外细胞实验表明,CNTs促进了前成骨细胞在HA-CNT/TiO₂双层涂层上的粘附。这些独特的表面与HA的骨传导特性相结合,展现出CNTs优异的机械性能。因此,在Ti基底上制备的HA-CNT/TiO₂涂层可能是一种有前途的骨替代材料。
