ABSTRACTThe surface of Ti-based bulk metallic glass (BMG) was irradiated by the femto-second laser and microgrooves were formed on the surface. The titanate nanomesh layers were fabricated on the micro-grooved BMG surface by hydrothermal-electrochemical (H-E) treatment changing the conditions of the concentration of electrolyte solution (0 and 5 M) and applying current density (0-200 mA/cm2). The bone-inducing capacity of the samples with different H-E treatment was confirmed by soaking them in a simulated body fluid for 12 days. The H-E treatment in higher concentration 5 M NaOH aq. and applying higher current density above 0.5 mA/cm2 exhibited excellent bioactivity inducing large hydroxyapatite crystallites.

Apatite forming and bonding ability of Ti based bulk metallic glass ((Ti0.40Zr0.10Cu0.36Pd0.14)99Ca1: BMG) were investigated as a new type of biomaterials. Powder mixture of CaHPO4・2H2O and Ca(OH)2 and the BMG disks were treated with autoclave for hydrothermal hot-pressing simultaneously (150°C, 40MPa). And then the BMG disks were soaked in simulated body fluid (SBF, Kokubo solution). Apatite were deposited and covered on the surface of the BMG. It was firstly demonstrated that surface of Ti based bulk metallic glass could be revealed apatite forming ability.

AbstractDiamond-like carbon (DLC) thin films were prepared by hydrothermal electrochemical method in one-step process. The structural characterization of these films was carried out by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, and infrared reflectance spectroscopy (IR). It was found that there was an increased sp2 carbon content but decreased sp3 carbon and hydrogen contents with an increase in current density. The flexibility and internal stresses of the DLC films were affected by hydrogen, sp3 amorphous carbon and ordered crystalline sp2 carbon contents. The highly flexible DLC films with high sp3 carbon and hydrogen contents were prepared at a current density of 0.001 mA/cm2.

A binary Mg-4Zn alloy was fabricated as a potential degradable biomaterial. To improve the corrosion resistance of Mg-4Zn alloy, an amorphous micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coating was prepared on the Mg-4Zn substrate. Electrochemical measurements and immersion tests were employed to evaluate the corrosion resistance of the specimen in simulated body fluid (SBF). Electrochemical measurements show that the Mg-4Zn alloy covered with a MAO coating has a much lower corrosion current density and a much greater polarization resistance. Immersion tests suggest that the degradation of Mg-4Zn substrate is relatively serious during the initial 8 h of immersion although it has been protected by a MAO coating. When most micro-pores within the MAO coating have been filled with precipitates resulted from the corrosion of the metal substrate, the degradation of the Mg-4Zn substrate is significantly delayed.

Using the microindentation test, the stress-assisted-electrochemical corrosion of Cu46.25Zr45.25Al7.5Er1 bulk metallic glass (BMG) was studied in a 10 wt% NaCl electrolyte. The microindentation was performed in an indentation load range of 500 to 4000 mN to create shear bands over the deformation zone. Electric current of various densities was passed through the indented BMGs to evaluate the effect of shear bands and localized deformation on the electrochemical corrosion of the BMGs. Surface pits always initiated from the shear-banding zone and the contact edges between the indenter and the BMGs, and the size of the corroded zone grew with the increase in the polarization time, the indentation load, and the current density. Wormlike amorphous whiskers were formed over the corroded zone, and the density of the wormlike whiskers increased with the current density and polarization time.

Na2O-CaO-P2O5-SiO2-Al2O3 (NCPSA) glass was investigated in its electrical polarizability by complex impedance and thermally stimulated depolarization current (TSDC) measurements. Moreover, the NCPSA glass was also subjected to a chemical treatment for bioactivity improvement. The effects of the electrical polarization and the chemical treatment on apatite formability of NCPSA glass were investigated by immersion test using simulated body fluid. From the result of complex impedance measurements, the activation energies for electrical conductivities NCPSA glass was 1.1eV. From the TSDC measurements, the polarized NCPSA glass showed monotonically increasing curves in depolarization current density spectra. The stored electrical charge calculated from TSDC measurements of the NCPSA glass polarized with electrical dc field of 2kV・cm-1 at 600°C for 1h was 4.91 mC・cm-2. The NCPSA glass treated with 1M NaOH indicated apatite formability in SBF and exhibited bioactivity. We disclosed that the combination of electropolarization and chemical treatment changed the apatite formability of the NCPSA glass in SBF, consequently, improved the bioactivity of the glass.

Porous HA ceramics has been developed for the scaffold materials because the porous structure has been recognized to be necessary to invasion of body fluid and ingrowth of bone. The synthesized porous HA ceramics with several porosities were electrically polarized, and then the TSDC spectra were measured. The maximum electric current density and the stored polarization charges decreased with increasing the porosity. Therefore it was thought that the decreasing the amount of proton of porous HA ceramics was one of the reasons of decreasing of the maximum electric current densities and the stored charges. The simulated body fluid (SBF) test implied that electrovector effects enhanced the apatite formabilities.
