This invention relates to the field of
metal surface treatment technology, and more particularly to an aluminum
alloy with a surface loaded with bio-based antibacterial components and its preparation method. The aluminum
alloy is prepared by the following steps:
anodizing the treated aluminum
alloy to obtain an aluminum alloy with a
nanotube pore structure; immersing the obtained
nanotube pore structure anodic aluminum layer in a
silane coupling agent solution for activation treatment to obtain a surface-activated aluminum alloy; immersing the surface-activated aluminum alloy in an
epoxy resin solution containing antibacterial components and allowing it to stand for 10–12 hours, then removing the aluminum alloy and curing it at 70–75°C for 2–3 hours to obtain the aluminum alloy. The aluminum alloy prepared by this invention simultaneously loads two antibacterial components,
palmatine and
magnolol, onto the
anodic oxide film layer, which synergistically produce a better
inhibitory effect on fungi and
bacteria.
