Problems solved by technology

[0005] In order to solve the problems of osteocompatibility and antibacterial properties of implants, the present invention provides a tantalum-copper coating for bone implants and its preparation method, which can be used in 3D printing porous titanium alloys by using plasma chemical vapor deposition technology. Metal tantalum-copper coatings are prepared on the scaffolds to solve the problem of biocompatibility of porous titanium alloys. The permanent implant materials obtained by this method are suitable for the mechanical performance requirements of various implant sites, and are conducive to the adhesion and ingrowth of bone cells. Cell growth provides sufficient three-dimensional growth space, and has excellent corrosion resistance, excellent biocompatibility, and has a bactericidal function

Abstract

In order to solve problems on bone compatibility and antibacterial property of an implant, the invention provides a tantalum-copper coating for bone implantation and a preparation method of the tantalum-copper coating. The coating is 0.1-50 [mu]M in thickness; and the mass percentage of copper element Cu in the coating is less than or identical to 10% and is more than 0%. On the basis of plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition, halides of metallic tantalum and copper are reduced into pure metals by virtue of hydrogen and the pure metals are deposited on the surface of a substrate, so that the tantalum-copper coating is obtained; the problem on biocompatibility of such substrate materials as porous titanium alloy and the like can be solved; the permanent implant material (the tantalum-copper coating) prepared by the method can conform to the requirements of a plurality of implanting positions on mechanical performance, bring about benefits to bone cell adhesion and in-growth and offer a sufficient three-dimensional growth space for bone cells; the tantalum-copper coating is excellent in corrosion resistance and biocompatibility; and meanwhile, the tantalum-copper coating has a bactericidal function.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to medical materials, especially suitable for the technical field of filling materials for dental implants, joint replacements and human tissue defects; in particular, it is a tantalum-copper coating material on the surface of implants and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Implants such as artificial joints only have a lifespan of 10-15 years due to adverse cell reactions caused by implant loosening and abrasion, which cannot meet the long-term use requirements. At the same time, as a common and disastrous postoperative complication, bacterial infection associated with implant materials has become an important problem to be solved urgently. In addition, both the strength and elastic modulus of clinically used solid implants are much higher than those of human bones, and a "stress shielding effect" will occur, which will lead to bone remodeling in the bones in the stress shielding area, thereby reducing bo...
