Background
The natural bone tissue is composed of near-compact bone and porous cancellous bone, and the surface of the natural bone tissue comprises micron, submicron and nanometer multilevel structures[1]. Based on the principle of bionics, the surface of the implant with the micro-nano structure is closer to the surface structure of natural bone tissues than the smooth surface, and is more favorable for differentiation and osseointegration of bone cells[2-3]. In addition, research shows that the micro-nano structured surface can improve the hydrophilicity of the material surfaceAnd the biological activity ion implantation and the micro-nano structure surface generate a synergistic effect, so that the biocompatibility of the micro-nano structure can be further increased. In view of the above advantages, the implant metal with the micro-nano structure on the surface is a research hotspot of people at present, and has a wider application prospect.
The common biomedical metals comprise titanium alloy, magnesium alloy, cobalt-based alloy and the like, wherein the titanium alloy is mature and wide in application, and the invention is used for designing and constructing the surface microstructure of the common biomedical metal alloy material in a targeted manner. In the published patents, the surface treatment methods of titanium alloys are commonly used such as sand blasting, acid etching, alkali heating, anodic oxidation, etc. However, the surface microstructures constructed by these methods have a certain unevenness, and the surface microstructures all have a large number of angular features, which easily causes a stress concentration phenomenon to occur locally on the implant, thereby causing the effects of reduced bonding strength between the implant and the in vivo cells, an obvious biological rejection phenomenon, and the like.
