Problems solved by technology

[0004] The existing methods for preparing inorganic coatings mainly include conventional magnetron sputtering, vacuum metal arc source deposition, plasma immersion ion implantation, etc., which are applied to the surface modification of vascular stents. These technical means have low bonding strength and thin film surface. Low quality (with large particles) and high voltage during processing are prone to ignition, damage to the bracket and other issues

Abstract

The invention relates to a metal support surface modification method and belongs to the technical field of metal surface modification. The method is used for depositing a titanium / titanium oxide film on the surface of a metal support by effectively utilizing high power pulse magnetron sputtering technology. The method includes the following steps: firstly, putting the metal support in a vacuum chamber of high power pulse magnetron sputtering equipment, and vacuumizing the vacuum chamber to 0.5*10<-3> Pa to 2*10<-3>Pa; filling argon into the vacuum chamber, and sputter cleaning the metal support and a target; introducing argon into the vacuum chamber, and preparing a titanium transition layer with high binding force on the surface of the metal support by utilizing the high power pulse magnetron sputtering technology, by means of regulating such parameters as sputtering voltage amplitude, frequency, pulse width, sputtering voltage and matrix bias voltage; finally, introducing argon and oxygen into the vacuum chamber, and preparing a firmly combined titanium oxide film on the surface of the metal support by regulating such parameters as sputtering voltage amplitude, frequency, pulse width, sputtering voltage and matrix bias voltage. The method is mainly applied to surface modification of the metal support.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of metal surface modification, and particularly relates to a method for modifying the surface of a metal support. Background technique [0002] Metal stents are widely used as vascular stents in the clinical treatment of coronary heart disease due to their good mechanical properties and excellent processing properties. However, metal stents have the disadvantage of insufficient blood compatibility. For example, after metal stents are implanted in the human body, they will release toxic metal ions (such as nickel ions, chromium ions, etc.) during long-term service. These ions are in the blood and blood vessel tissues. Long-term release may lead to long-term complications of stent implantation patients, such as vascular restenosis, advanced thrombosis, etc., threatening the lives of patients. The surface modification of the metal stent can effectively inhibit the release of toxic metal ions and improve the biocomp...
