研究目的
Investigating the fabrication of multi-scale microgroove textures (MGT) on Ti-based implant materials to improve their hemo-compatibility.
研究成果
The study demonstrated that multiscale MGT with anisotropic water droplet spreading speed or length can be economically fabricated on Ti-based implant materials by coupling the re-solidification bulges derived from nanosecond laser irradiation. The proposed methods are promising for fabricating submicron groove textures to mimic those on the surface of natural vessels, potentially improving the hemo-compatibility of vessel stents.
研究不足
The study is limited to the use of a specific type of laser and material (TA2). The effects of other types of lasers or materials on the fabrication of MGT were not investigated.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used a Gaussian mode ultraviolet nanosecond laser source to fabricate MGT on TA2 surfaces. The effect of laser intensity, scanning interval, and scanning speed on the morphology of laser-irradiated surfaces was investigated.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
2.0-mm-thick, 10 mm × 10 mm sheets of TA2 were used. Prior to laser processing, the samples were mechanically ground and cleaned.
3:0-mm-thick, 10 mm × 10 mm sheets of TA2 were used. Prior to laser processing, the samples were mechanically ground and cleaned.
List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: A home-built laser machining system with a Gaussian mode ultraviolet nanosecond laser source (wavelength of 355 nm, pulse width τ = 10 ns, and a pulse repetition rate adjustable from 10 to 100 kHz) was used. The laser beam was focused at the sample surface to a diameter of about 20 μm.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The laser beam was manipulated in the XOY plane by using a computer-controlled galvanometer scanner system. The sample was mounted on a motorized four-axis motion stage. The effect of Ia, h, and v on the morphology of laser-irradiated surface was investigated.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
A scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to characterize the surface morphology and for analyzing the chemical composition by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The arithmetic mean Ra of the surface roughness was measured, and the static contact angle of water on the substrate surface was determined by using the sessile droplet method.
