Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of medical titanium and titanium alloy materials, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a near-beta TLM titanium alloy de-alloying / chronological functional surface. BACKGROUND

[0002] Titanium and titanium alloy have irreplaceable advantages in the field of bone defect repair due to their excellent biocompatibility, corrosion resistance and processing performance. However, the results of clinical follow-up studies on titanium alloy show that the research on titanium alloy for bone defect repair still needs to consider the problems of insufficient biomechanical compatibility, bioactivity and antibacterial performance, and titanium alloy with good biomechanical adaptability and biological functionality needs to be developed.

[0003] Ti-3Zr-2Sn-3Mo-25Nb (TLM) titanium alloy is a high-strength low-modulus metastable beta-type medical titanium alloy, which has excellent and controllable comprehensive mechanical properties. Its elastic modulus is about 40 GPa to 80 GPa, which is close to the elastic modulus of bone tissue, and has good biomechanical adaptability. At the same time, the surface micro-nano structure improves the bioactivity of titanium alloy by regulating the adhesion behavior of cells on the surface, and enhances the bone integration between the implant and the newly formed bone tissue. Electrochemical de-alloying technology is a surface modification technology for preparing hierarchical micro-nano porous structure by corroding active elements in the matrix. Compared with traditional surface modification technologies, electrochemical de-alloying technology has the advantages of in-situ preparation, one-step preparation and controllable preparation, which avoids the problems of coating peeling and healing complication caused by the interface, and has wide application prospects in the preparation of porous surface of biomedical metal materials. Although electrochemical de-alloying improves the bioactivity while retaining the good biomechanical adaptability of the matrix, it still lacks the necessary early antibacterial and medium-long-term osteogenic differentiation and vascularization performance during the bone healing process, and the de-alloyed surface needs to be functionalized to induce the chronological expression of biological functional properties.

[0004] Metallic strontium ions can promote bone formation and bone mineralization, enhance bone strength, promote osteoblast differentiation and inhibit osteoclast generation, and promote angiogenesis by enhancing the expression of vascular growth factors. Therefore, by controlling the release amount of strontium ions, the sustained expression of strontium ion biological functionality can be achieved. Tannic acid is a naturally occurring polyphenolic compound with free radical scavenging, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It can form stable complexes with metal ions and has a pH-responsive release mechanism, thereby controlling the release amount of metal ions. After tannic acid is complexed with metal ions strontium, the release behavior of strontium ions is controlled to endow the matrix material with biological functionalities such as oxidation resistance, osteogenic differentiation and angiogenesis promotion.

[0005] Polylysine is a water-soluble lysine polymer, a natural antibacterial peptide secreted by Streptomyces, which has broad-spectrum antibacterial properties and good inhibitory effect on gram-positive and negative bacteria, yeast and mold. Unlike the drug resistance caused by antibiotic antibacterial and metal toxicity caused by metal ion antibacterial, polylysine causes irreversible damage to bacterial membrane, thereby causing bacterial death, which does not produce drug resistance and can be decomposed into essential lysine in the human body. Polylysine is expected to be widely used in antibacterial modification of bone defect repair implant. SUMMARY

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide a preparation method of dealloyed / sequential function surface of near-beta TLM titanium alloy, which solves the problems of lack of early antibacterial and long-term osteogenic differentiation and vascularization performance in the process of bone tissue healing of the existing TLM titanium alloy.

[0007] To solve the above technical problems, the technical scheme adopted by the present application is as follows: a preparation method of dealloyed / sequential function surface of near-beta TLM titanium alloy, characterized in that the method comprises the following steps:

[0008] Step one, heat treating the near-beta TLM titanium alloy to obtain a TLM titanium alloy substrate with a dual-phase microstructure;

[0009] Step two, performing surface electrochemical dealloying treatment on the TLM titanium alloy substrate with a dual-phase microstructure obtained in step one, using the TLM titanium alloy substrate as an anode, a platinum electrode as a cathode, an acid electrolyte and a constant voltage higher than the critical potential to obtain a TLM titanium alloy substrate with a hierarchical micro-nano porous surface structure;

[0010] Step three, mixing tannic acid and strontium salt and then performing complexation reaction to obtain a complex solution;

[0011] Step four, performing chemical deposition treatment on the TLM titanium alloy substrate with a hierarchical micro-nano porous surface structure obtained in step two by using the complex solution obtained in step three to obtain a TLM titanium alloy with an osteogenic and vascularization function layer;

[0012] Step five, constructing an antibacterial function layer on the TLM titanium alloy with an osteogenic and vascularization function layer obtained in step four by electrostatic adsorption to obtain a dealloyed / sequential function surface.

[0013] The present application firstly carries out heat treatment on the near-beta TLM titanium alloy, preferably solid solution aging heat treatment in a vacuum environment, adjusts the microstructure of the near-beta TLM titanium alloy to be a dual-phase microstructure, and uses the sequential dealloying characteristics of the dual-phase microstructure to lay a foundation for forming a hierarchical micro-nano porous surface structure through subsequent surface electrochemical dealloying treatment. Secondly, the present application carries out surface electrochemical dealloying treatment by using the TLM titanium alloy substrate as an anode, using a platinum electrode as a cathode, using an acid electrolyte, and applying a constant voltage higher than a critical potential. During the treatment process, the alpha phase in the dual-phase microstructure of the TLM titanium alloy substrate is preferentially corroded due to its low self-corrosion potential, forming micron-sized grooves, and acid ions such as fluoride ions in the acid electrolyte form nanometer-sized pores by breaking through the TLM titanium alloy surface oxide film, thereby forming a hierarchical micro-nano porous surface structure. The hierarchical micro-nano porous surface structure regulates the surface roughness and hydrophilicity of the TLM titanium alloy substrate, is conducive to the adhesion of osteogenic-related cells, and the micro-nano pores are conducive to the mechanical "riveting" between the implant and the newly formed bone tissue, achieving good bone integration. Then, the present application constructs a tannic acid / strontium complex functional layer (TA / Sr) on the hierarchical micro-nano porous surface structure of the TLM titanium alloy substrate through complexation reaction and chemical deposition treatment, uses the pH-responsive release mechanism of the complex of tannic acid (TA) and metal ion strontium to realize the controlled release of metal active ion strontium ions, and then realizes the sustained expression of the biological functionality of strontium ions, improving the biological functionality of the TLM titanium alloy, such as promoting osteogenic differentiation, inhibiting osteoclastogenesis, antioxidant, and promoting angiogenesis. Finally, the present application uses the electrostatic adsorption method to construct a polylysine antibacterial functional layer (ε-PL) through the electrostatic adsorption between the negative units in tannic acid and the positive units in polylysine, uses the irreversible damage of polylysine to the bacterial membrane layer to realize good antibacterial performance, and the presence of the polylysine functional layer further inhibits the early burst release behavior of strontium ions, further promoting the sustained expression of the biological functionality of strontium ions.

[0014] Based on the time sequence requirements of early antibacterial, long-term bone differentiation promotion and finally good bone combination between the new bone tissue in the clinical application of orthopedic implant devices, the application first prepares a hierarchical micro-nano porous surface structure, then prepares a TA / Sr functional layer through chemical deposition, and finally prepares an epsilon-PL functional layer to obtain a dealloying / time sequence functional surface. In the human body physiological environment, the polylysine of the dealloying / time sequence functional surface causes irreversible damage to the bacterial membrane layer, thereby meeting the antibacterial performance; with the degradation of the polylysine, the tannic acid pH regulates the strontium ion release rate, so that the strontium ion is effectively released for a long time, the strontium ion promotes the osteogenic differentiation of osteoblasts and the vascularization of endothelial cells, which is beneficial to the formation of new bone tissue; finally, the hierarchical micro-nano porous structure of the surface forms mechanical riveting with the new bone, thereby enhancing the stability between the implant and the new bone, and the dealloying / time sequence functional surface is beneficial to realize rapid osseointegration.

[0015] Generally, the application preferably uses SrCl2·6H2O as a strontium salt, which will form a deposit impurity on the surface of the TLM titanium alloy substrate with a hierarchical micro-nano porous surface structure compared to Sr(OH)2, and SrCl2·6H2O is non-toxic to the organism and no impurities are generated, thereby avoiding the generation of cytotoxicity and being suitable for use in the organism implant.

The application adjusts the microstructure of the TLM titanium alloy substrate to be a dual-phase microstructure through two different temperature heat treatment processes, combines with a proper vacuum environment to effectively avoid the formation of an oxide film during the heat treatment process, and precipitates fine and dispersed alpha phase inside the equiaxed crystal during the two heat treatment processes, thereby controlling the size and content of the precipitated alpha phase by adjusting the heat treatment temperature, time and cooling rate.
