Adhesion of SiO2 layers deposited by means of sol-gel and ALD methods on 316LVM steel
Journal Title: Engineering of Biomaterials / Inżynieria Biomateriałów - Year 2017, Vol 20, Issue 141
Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of SiO2 layers deposited by two methods - atomic layer deposition (ALD) and sol-gel, on the surface of stainless steel 316LVM used in application of cardiovascular implants. In assessing the suitability of the proposed methods to modify surfaces of the analysed steel, authors carried out tests of mechanical, electrochemical and physical properties. The austenitic steel 316LVM was chosen and subjected to the following surface modifications: electrochemical polishing, chemical passivation and application of the SiO2 layer using both methods – ALD and sol-gel. These methods were proposed for research, because they are most commonly used in the case of applying surface layers to implants. Based on the obtained results, it was observed that regardless of the method of application, the SiO2 layer has beneficial effect on examined properties compared to control. Moreover, it was found that the SiO2 layer deposited by ALD is characterized by the most preferred combination of mechanical, physical and electrochemical properties. The layer obtained by this method is characterized by a higher critical force, which causes delamination of the layers, higher resistance to pitting corrosion and higher water contact angle (hydrophobic character), which is a desirable phenomenon in the case of implants used in the circulatory system, resulting in lower adsorption of proteins and blood clothing. Proposing of suitable variants of surface treatment using the ALD and sol-gel methods is of perspective importance. It will contribute to the development of technological conditions with specified parameters for the production of oxide coatings on implants used in the cardiovascular system.
