Graphene and niobium oxide are used in biomaterial coatings. In this work, commercially pure titanium (cp Ti) was coated with graphene oxide (GO), niobium pentoxide (NbO), and a mixture of both materials (NbGO) by the electrochemical deposition method. The surface morphology, roughness, wettability, and degradation of coated and uncoated samples were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, interferometry, and contact angle. The results showed that the specimens coated with NbGO (cp Ti-NbGO) showed the highest surface roughness (Ra = 0.64 m) and were hydrophobic. The contact () angle between water and the surface of uncoated specimens (cp Ti), coated with GO (cp Ti-GO), coated with a mixture with GO and NbO) (cp Ti-NbGO), and coated with NbO were 50.74°, 44.35°, 55.86°, and 100.35°, respectively. The electrochemical corrosion tests showed that coating with graphene oxide increased the corrosion resistance and coating with NbO decreased the corrosion resistance. The negative effect of the effect of NbO coating in corrosion resistance compensated for the release of NbO, which helps osseointegration, increasing cell viability, and proliferation of osteoblasts. The NbGO coating may be a good way to combine the bactericidal effect of graphene oxide with the osseointegration effect of NbO.
石墨烯和氧化铌被用于生物材料涂层。在这项工作中,通过电化学沉积法将氧化石墨烯(GO)、五氧化二铌(NbO)以及这两种材料的混合物(NbGO)涂覆在商业纯钛(cp Ti)上。通过扫描电子显微镜、干涉测量法和接触角分析了涂覆和未涂覆样品的表面形态、粗糙度、润湿性和降解情况。结果表明,涂覆有NbGO的样品(cp Ti-NbGO)显示出最高的表面粗糙度(Ra = 0.64μm)且具有疏水性。未涂覆样品(cp Ti)、涂覆有GO的样品(cp Ti-GO)、涂覆有GO和NbO混合物的样品(cp Ti-NbGO)以及涂覆有NbO的样品表面与水之间的接触角分别为50.74°、44.35°、55.86°和100.35°。电化学腐蚀试验表明,涂覆氧化石墨烯提高了耐腐蚀性,而涂覆NbO降低了耐腐蚀性。NbO涂层对耐腐蚀性的负面影响被NbO的释放所补偿,NbO有助于骨整合、提高细胞活力以及成骨细胞的增殖。NbGO涂层可能是将氧化石墨烯的杀菌作用与NbO的骨整合作用相结合的一种好方法。
