Resorbable polymer coatings modified with tricalcium phosphate and zinc oxide for magnesium alloy wires
Journal Title: Engineering of Biomaterials / Inżynieria Biomateriałów - Year 2016, Vol 19, Issue 136
Abstract
Magnesium and its alloys can be a promising alternative for traditionally used metallic biomaterials due to their: biocompatibility, biodegradability, osteoconductivity, antibacterial activity, and resemblance of density and Young’s modulus to the natural bone. Rapid corrosion, Mg alloys main disadvantage, causes hydrogen accumulation, harmful pH level increase in surrounding tissues, and premature loss of mechanical parameters. In order to solve those issues, scientists select appropriate alloying elements and apply different surface treatments or coatings. This research considers application of resorbable polymers as coating materials for magnesium alloy wires. Samples were dip-coated with various concentration polylactide (PLA) and polycaprolactone (PCL) solutions. Immersion tests were conducted for 7 weeks in phosphate buffered saline and distilled water; pH and ionic conductivity changes, and release of Mg2+ ions were monitored. We show the influence of polymer solution concentration on the coating quality and effectiveness of anticorrosive protection, as well as superior parameters of polycaprolactone. In the second part of the study, selected coating was modified with tricalcium phosphate (TCP) and zinc oxide (ZnO), that were incorporated into the polymer matrix. Mechanical studies revealed that after modification with those two types of particles Young’s modulus increased, while tensile strength and elasticity of the foils decreased, however it should not affect the effectiveness of the coating. SEM and EDS analysis confirmed potential bioactivity of investigated materials.
