Biomedical pure magnesium surface functional structured ion implantation modified layer and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a biomedical pure magnesium surface functional structured ion implantation modified layer, a preparation method and application thereof, belonging to the technical field of biomedical magnesium-based metal material surface modification.
Background
The traditional bone implantation materials mainly comprise stainless steel, titanium alloy and cobalt-chromium alloy, but the materials cause stress shielding effect, are not beneficial to the growth and healing of bone tissues, are not degradable and need to be taken out by secondary operation, and in addition, metal ions dissolved and released after being implanted into a human body have biotoxicity. The density and the elastic modulus of magnesium and magnesium alloy are close to those of natural bones, and meanwhile, the magnesium and magnesium alloy has good biocompatibility and degradability, and degraded magnesium ions can be absorbed by a human body to promote the growth of new bones and participate in metabolism of the human body, so that the magnesium and magnesium alloy is expected to replace the traditional bone implant material in the field of biomedical devices. However, magnesium is too active in chemical property, is very easy to corrode in human electrolyte solution, can degrade within a short time, and leads to early loss of mechanical integrity of the implant, and if serious local corrosion occurs during service of magnesium and magnesium alloy workpieces, the degradation behavior is uncontrollable, so that sudden early fracture failure of the implant apparatus can be caused. Ion implantation is used as an effective surface modification technology, and can improve the corrosion resistance of biomedical magnesium and magnesium alloy. Chu professor team of hong Kong City university Paul K.Chu has carried out a series of researches on ion implantation Surface modification of biomedical magnesium alloy, which can improve the Corrosion resistance of pure magnesium and magnesium alloy in simulated body fluid by ion implantation of Al and elements of rare earth metals Nd, Ce, Pr, etc. (Applied Surface Science,2012,258(19):7651-7657. Corroson Science,2015, 94:142-155.Surface & Coatings Technology,2016,306:6-10.Materials Letters, 2016,163: 85-89.). However, Al element has neurotoxicity and is liable to induce senile dementia, and biotoxicity of rare earth element is not clear yet. Therefore, the biological safety and compatibility of the elements are one of the factors that must be considered. In addition, Liu et al separately inject Ag, Fe, Y into the Mg-1Ca surface, and the results show that Ag and Fe injection accelerates the corrosion rate of the matrix, while Y injection improves the corrosion resistance of the magnesium alloy in the simulated body fluid in a short period of time, but the effect is not obvious, and the Y injection layer does not play a role in long-term protection. (Colloids & Surfaces B biolnterfaces, 2015,133: 99-107.).
Therefore, a biomedical pure magnesium surface functional structural ion implantation modified layer with controllable degradation behavior, and a preparation method and application thereof are needed.
