Facile incorporation of hydroxyapatite onto an anodized Ti surface via a mussel inspired polydopamine coating

摘要

Inspired by the porous morphology of anodized Ti and the adhesive versatility of polydopamine (PDA), which can induce apatite mineralization, we fabricated a novel interface by coating a porous anodized TiO2 layer with PDA to rapidly immobilize HA on Ti-based substrates. It was found that the as-prepared PDA/anodized (HD) surface exhibited nanoscale roughness, which possessed an excellent ability to form apatite when immersed in 1.5x simulated body fluid (SBF), as observed by AFM and FE-SEM. The morphology and composition of each layer were further confirmed by XPS, XRD and FTIR. The corrosion resistance of the multilayer was investigated using potentiodynamic polarization curve and electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS) measurements in a 0.9 wt% NaCl solution, the results suggested that the HA/PDA/anodized (HDA) layer increased the corrosion resistance of pure Ti with higher corrosion potential and lower passive current, the surface wettability was also enhanced with the incorporation of HA. In vitro cellular assays showed that the HDA layer stimulated cell attachment and improved the alkaline phosphate (ALP) activity. Overall, the PDA/anodized treatment provided a viable method to quickly integrate HA, and the obtained HDA layer improved both corrosion resistance and biocompatibility of the Ti surface.
