Abstract
We prepared Zn/Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) composite films for guiding bone regeneration. The surface of Zn foil was modified by micro-arc oxidation, and the composite films with a sandwich structure were prepared using hot pressing method. The morphology, roughness, porosity, and pore size of Zn foil were investigated with the help of laser microscope and SEM. As a result, the rough and porous surface with the Sa value of 2.764±0.071 μm and porosity of 12.5±3.2 % provided a favorable structural basis for subsequent combination between Zn foil and PLA. While the value of Sa for the MAO-Zn/PLA40 composite film was 4.510±0.080 μm. The main component of the oxide layer was ZnO according to the XRD and XPS results. The tensile strength of MAO-Zn/PLA40 composite film increased by 17.7±0.6 % compared with that of Zn/PLA40 composite film. The interface energy decreased from −7.074 kcal/mol for Zn/PLA to −1433.430 kcal/mol for ZnO/PLA and the total energy level of ZnO/PLA composites shifted towards lower direction according to the density of state results. These results illustrated the enhanced interfacial bonding effect between the micro-arc oxide layer and PLA based on mechanical interlocking and electrostatic attraction. Additionally, micro-arc oxidation accelerated the degradation of Zn foil from initial 0.383±0.029 mm/year to 1.245±0.208 mm/year according to the electrochemical performances. This investigation provided an experimental basis and theoretical guidance for regulating the mechanical properties and degradation rate of this kind of membrane.
期刊介绍:
Surface and Coatings Technology is an international archival journal publishing scientific papers on significant developments in surface and interface engineering to modify and improve the surface properties of materials for protection in demanding contact conditions or aggressive environments, or for enhanced functional performance. Contributions range from original scientific articles concerned with fundamental and applied aspects of research or direct applications of metallic, inorganic, organic and composite coatings, to invited reviews of current technology in specific areas. Papers submitted to this journal are expected to be in line with the following aspects in processes, and properties/performance:
A. Processes: Physical and chemical vapour deposition techniques, thermal and plasma spraying, surface modification by directed energy techniques such as ion, electron and laser beams, thermo-chemical treatment, wet chemical and electrochemical processes such as plating, sol-gel coating, anodization, plasma electrolytic oxidation, etc., but excluding painting.
B. Properties/performance: friction performance, wear resistance (e.g., abrasion, erosion, fretting, etc), corrosion and oxidation resistance, thermal protection, diffusion resistance, hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity, and properties relevant to smart materials behaviour and enhanced multifunctional performance for environmental, energy and medical applications, but excluding device aspects.
