    Influence of chemical etchings on surface properties, in-vitro degradation and ion releases of 316l stainless steel alloy for biomedical applications

    Say, Y.; Aslan, N.; Alla, A.M.A.; Özmen, H.

    Different surface treatments are applied to improve the surface properties of metallic biomaterials. Chemical etching is one of the common techniques used for roughening the surface. In this regard, the effects of different chemical media on the surface roughness, degradation, and ion release of 316L SS steel were investigated in this study. The 316L SS steel was exposed to chemical etching in six different chemical media including HNO3, H2SO4, HCl, HClO4, NaOH and Na2CO, at four different concentrations (1, 2, 4, and 8 Molar), and at three immersion times (10, 60, and 180 min). SEM, EDS, and XRD analyses were used to examine the morphological and chemical impacts of chemical etching on sample surfaces, and roughness was measured on all sample surfaces. The effect of surface treatment on the degradation and ion release of the samples was comparatively examined. Characterization analyses indicated that the HNO3, H2SO4, and HCl media did not cause a significant reaction on the surface of the 316L SS. On the other hand, different phases were observed on the sample surfaces exposed to HClO4, NaOH, and Na2CO3 media. It was determined that the roughness had no linear correlation with the concentration and immersion time, and similarly, the degree of degradation and amount of ion release displayed no change depending on the roughness. Samples etched in H2SO4, HClO4, NaOH and Na2CO3 provided the highest roughness. It was found that H2SO4 caused a significant increase in the amount of ion release.

    Boron-incorporated biocomposite coatings on 316L and NiTi alloys: Enhanced structural, antibacterial activity, and cell viability performances

    Aslan, N.; Aksakal, B.; Aksoy, M.E.

    Boron doped (5 %, 10%, and 15 wt.%) Hydroxyapatite (B-HA) biocomposites were syntesized and coated on 316L SS and NiTi (Ni-45Ti) metallic substrates by using the electrophoretic deposition process (EPD). The morphological and structural characterization of the coatings was executed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction devices (XRD). Antibacterial tests were conducted using Escherichia coli (E. coli, JM103) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus, ATCC29293) microorganisms. The mitochondrial activity assay (MTT)-[3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide] was used to examine cell viability and cytotoxicity in Saos-2 osteoblast cells. HA and boron peaks, as well as B-TCP and metallic components, were detected in XRD examinations. Porous morphologies were generated on the surface with boron doped B-HA coatings, as revealed by SEM views. Antibacterial activity studies revealed that both metallic coating groups, notably with boron doping, demonstrated antibacterial activity against gram-negative E. coli and gram-positive S. aureus. The antibacterial activity of the 316L group was shown to be better than that of the NiTi group in comparisonal testing. The syntesized boron-doped biocomposite coatings did not have any detrimental effects on living cells, according to cell viability studies. The cell viability rate was found to be greater in NiTi coatings than in 316 SS coatings, and the impact was amplified by the addition of boron.
