Background
Stainless steel, titanium alloy and other materials have high mechanical strength, good biocompatibility, fatigue resistance and other excellent performances, and are widely applied to the field of medical hard tissue repair and replacement, but because the elastic modulus of the traditional metal implant materials is far higher than that of medical bone tissues, the stress stimulation is easily caused to the bone tissues around the implant in practical application, so that the bone tissues around the implant are partially absorbed, the strength is reduced, namely, the so-called stress shielding effect is generated, the implant is loosened, and the use performance is seriously influenced. Meanwhile, the metal implant also has the problems that harmful metal ions are released in the long-term use process, so that osteolysis or allergen generation is caused, the metal implant is incompatible with the common Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Computed Tomography (CT) technologies, and the monitoring on bone growth and healing is not facilitated, and the like.
Polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) is used as a thermoplastic special engineering material, the elastic modulus of the PEEK is similar to that of bones, stress shielding can be weakened or eliminated to a certain extent, so that bone absorption is reduced or avoided, osseointegration between an implant and bone tissues is facilitated, and the PEEK has excellent characteristics of good wear resistance, fatigue resistance, easiness in processing, corrosion resistance and the like. However, PEEK has no bioactivity and cannot form osseointegration with bone tissues, so that further popularization and application of PEEK in the field of hard tissue repair and replacement are limited to a certain extent. Therefore, related researchers put forward the idea of preparing a Hydroxyapatite (HA) coating with good matching property with bone tissues on the surface of PEEK, and partial research is carried out by sequentially utilizing methods such as cold spraying, aerosol deposition, plasma spraying, spin coating and the like, but due to the limitation of a preparation process and various reasons, no remarkable progress is made in the aspect of controlling the appearance and the size of hydroxyapatite crystals so far, and most of obtained coatings have the problems of insufficient bonding with bone tissues, low bonding strength, poor application effect and the like, and cannot be widely applied.
In general, although related researchers and research institutions have conducted partial research on the use of polyetheretherketone as an implant and preparation of a hydroxyapatite coating on the surface of the polyetheretherketone, and have obtained a certain research result, no report has been reported on a preparation method of a hydroxyapatite coating having a nanorod structure and good bonding strength by a hydrothermal method based on PEEK.
Therefore, it is a technical problem to be solved at present to form uniformly covered hydroxyapatite nanorods by using a hydrothermal method to obtain a hydroxyapatite coating with good bonding strength.
