Biocompatible magnesium alloys represent revolutionary implantable materials in dentistry and orthopedics but face challenges due to rapid biocorrosion, necessitating protective coatings to mitigate dysfunction. Directly integrating durable protective coatings onto Mg surfaces is challenging because of intrinsic low coating compactness. Herein, inspired by tooth enamel, a novel highly compact dual-protection inorganic-protein (inorganicPro) coating is in situ constructed on Mg surfaces through bovine serum albumin (BSA) protein-boosted reaction between sodium fluoride (NaF) and Mg substrates. The association of Mg ions and BSA establishes a local hydrophobic domain that lowers the formation enthalpy of NaMgF nanoparticles. This process generates finer nanoparticles that function as "bricks," facilitating denser packing, consequently reducing voidage inside coatings by over 50% and reinforcing mechanical durability. Moreover, the incorporation of BSA in and on the coatings plays two synergistic roles: 1) acting as "mortar" to seal residual cracks within coatings, thereby promoting coating compactness and tripling anticorrosion performance, and 2) mitigating fouling-accelerated biocorrosion in complex biosystems via tenfold resistance against biofoulant attachments, including biofluids, proteins, and metabolites. This innovative strategy, leveraging proteins to alter inorganic reactions, benefits the future coating design for Mg-based and other metallic materials with tailored anticorrosion and antifouling performances.
生物相容性镁合金是牙科和骨科领域具有革命性的植入材料,但由于其快速的生物腐蚀性,面临着挑战,需要保护性涂层来减轻功能障碍。由于内在的低涂层致密性,直接将耐用的保护性涂层集成到 Mg 表面具有挑战性。受牙釉质的启发,通过牛血清白蛋白(BSA)促进的氟化钠(NaF)和 Mg 基底之间的反应,在 Mg 表面原位构建了一种新颖的高致密双保护无机-蛋白质(inorganicPro)涂层。Mg 离子和 BSA 的结合建立了局部疏水区,降低了 NaMgF 纳米粒子的形成焓。该过程生成了更细的纳米粒子,作为“砖块”,促进更致密的堆积,从而使涂层内的空隙减少超过 50%,并增强机械耐久性。此外,BSA 的掺入和涂层中的存在起到了两个协同作用:1)作为“灰浆”,可以密封涂层内的残余裂纹,从而提高涂层致密性,并使防腐性能提高三倍,2)通过十倍抵抗生物污垢附着,包括生物流体、蛋白质和代谢物,减轻在复杂生物体系中污垢加速的生物腐蚀性。这种利用蛋白质改变无机反应的创新策略,有利于未来基于 Mg 和其他金属材料的涂层设计,以实现定制化的防腐和防污性能。
