In vitro corrosion of Mg-6Zn-1Mn-4Sn-1.5Nd/0.5Y alloys

The microstructure evaluation, surface morphology, chemical compositions and phase analysis of the biomedical Mg-6Zn-IMn-4Sn-1.5Nd/0.5Y （ZMT614- 1.5Nd/0.5Y） alloys were investigated by means of optical microscopy, EPMA, X-ray EDS, XRD and FTIR. The corrosion behavior was evaluated using weight-loss measurement, hydrogen evolution, electrochemical and pH measurements, The results demonstrate that the microstructure for both ZMT614-1,5Nd alloy and ZMT614-0.5Y alloy is characterized by α-Mg and intermetallic compounds, most of which are distributed along the grain boundaries. These second phases contain Mg2Zn, Mg2Zn11, Mg2Sn and single metal Mn, together with Mg12Nd phase for the ZMT614-1.5Nd alloy, and with Mg24Y5 phase for the ZMT614-0.5Y alloy. Honeycomb-like corrosion product layers form. The corrosion resistance of the ZMT614-0.5Y alloy is higher than that of the ZMT614-1.5Nd alloy, which is ascribed to the addition of the element Y into the alloy delaying the corrosion initiation in comparison to that of Nd element in the alloy.     

C/PLA复合材料的体外降解特性研究

对C／PLA复合材料的体外降解特性进行了研究。考察了该复合材料在降解过程中吸水率,质量损失和宏观力学性能的变化,并与PLA进行了对比。结果表明,与PLA相比,C／PLA复合材料的吸水率增加,质量损失下降,弯曲强度和剪切强度的下降速度减小。在体外降解过程中,C／PLA复合材料的界面发生降解,界面弱化是造成复合材料力学性能下降的主要因素。     

可生物降解聚乳酸/纳米纤维素复合材料的亲水性和降解性

采用溶液浇铸法制备可生物降解聚乳酸(PLA)/纳米纤维素复合材料。测试了该复合材料的吸水性,在37℃的磷酸缓冲溶液中及在土壤中的降解性。并用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)观察了降解前后复合材料的表面形貌。结果表明,随着复合材料中纳米纤维素质量分数的增加,复合材料的吸水性和降解性均随之提高,明显优于纯的聚乳酸。从SEM的图片中看出,降解后,在磷酸缓冲溶液中的复合材料表面有孔洞,而在土壤中的则有明显被侵蚀的痕迹。     

陈化对AZ91D镁合金上磷化膜的影响及磷化膜退化机制的研究

以磷酸盐化学转化膜为研究体系,采用交流阻抗(EIS)及红外(FT-IR)分析方法及检测手段,研究陈化时间对AZ91D镁合金磷化膜性能的影响及磷化膜的腐蚀退化机制.研究发现(1) EIS图谱和FT-IR图谱对比结果表明陈化时间对AZ91D磷化膜层性能有影响,磷化膜经陈化72h后更稳定.(2)磷化试样在硼酸缓冲液中浸泡实验的EIS测试表明,磷化膜的腐蚀退化机制分3个阶段:浸泡初期,中期和后期.浸泡初期(5～10h),电解质缓慢向磷化膜渗入,且有少量电解质浸入内层界面;浸泡中期(30～70h),随着内层界面腐蚀反应的发生,腐蚀产物开始对外层晶体层产生破坏作用,使缺陷扩大,导致电解质开始大量进入到内层界面;浸泡后期(80～120h),内层腐蚀反应达到平衡,膜层电阻等各项参数不再改变.     

In vitro corrosion resistance and antibacterial performance of novel tin dioxide-doped calcium phosphate coating on degradable Mg-1Li-1Ca alloy

A SnO_2-doped calcium phosphate(Ca-P-Sn) coating was constructed on Mg-1 Li-1 Ca alloy by a hydrothermal process. The fabricated functional coatings were investigated using scanning electron microscopy(SEM), X-ray diffraction(XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR). A triple-layered structure, which is composed of Ca_3(PO_4)_2,(Ca, Mg)_3(PO_4)_2, SnO_2, and MgHPO_4·3 H_2O, is evident and leads to the formation of Ca_(10)(PO_4)_6(OH)_2 in Hank's solution. Electrochemical measurements, hydrogen evolution tests and plating counts reveal that the corrosion resistance and antibacterial activity were improved through the coating treatment. The embedded SnO_2 nanoparticles enhanced crystallisation of the coating.The formation and degradation mechanisms of the coating were discussed.
