Abstract
The rapid degradation rate of biodegradable magnesium alloys restricts their use in medical implants. Therefore, designing a protective coating with a slow degradation rate and good biocompatibility is crucial. For biodegradable magnesium alloy stents, it is equally important to enhance the material's corrosion resistance and ensure the coating's deformation adaptability to the stent. This study, utilized a combination of micro-arc oxidation (MAO) and dip-coating techniques to develop a novel composite coating comprising an MAO base layer and a poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) outer layer on EK30 magnesium alloy. This composite coating was designed to enhance the corrosion resistance and biocompatibility of EK30 magnesium alloy for stent applications. The surface characteristics, corrosion resistance, in vitro cytocompatibility, and deformation adaptability of the composite coating to the stent were evaluated. The MAO-PBAT composite coating demonstrated a low corrosion current density (Icorr = 2.381 ×10−8 A/cm2), three orders of magnitude lower than that of unmodified EK30 magnesium alloy. Live/dead cell staining results confirmed that the composite coating exhibited good cytocompatibility with human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) and human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMCs). Observations of the stent treated with the composite coating during crimping and expansion showed that the composite coating possessed excellent deformation adaptability. These results indicate that the MAO-PBAT composite coating has significant potential for vascular stent application.
期刊介绍:
Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces is an international journal devoted to fundamental and applied research on colloid and interfacial phenomena in relation to systems of biological origin, having particular relevance to the medical, pharmaceutical, biotechnological, food and cosmetic fields.
Submissions that: (1) deal solely with biological phenomena and do not describe the physico-chemical or colloid-chemical background and/or mechanism of the phenomena, and (2) deal solely with colloid/interfacial phenomena and do not have appropriate biological content or relevance, are outside the scope of the journal and will not be considered for publication.
The journal publishes regular research papers, reviews, short communications and invited perspective articles, called BioInterface Perspectives. The BioInterface Perspective provide researchers the opportunity to review their own work, as well as provide insight into the work of others that inspired and influenced the author. Regular articles should have a maximum total length of 6,000 words. In addition, a (combined) maximum of 8 normal-sized figures and/or tables is allowed (so for instance 3 tables and 5 figures). For multiple-panel figures each set of two panels equates to one figure. Short communications should not exceed half of the above. It is required to give on the article cover page a short statistical summary of the article listing the total number of words and tables/figures.
