RESUMO

The main aim of this study was to investigate the properties of an AZ91 alloy coated with nanostructured hydroxyapatite (HA) prepared by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering. The bioactivity and biomineralization of the AZ91 magnesium alloy coated with HA were investigated in simulated body fluid (SBF) via an in vitro test. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses were performed. The samples were immersed in SBF to study the ability of the surface to promote the formation of an apatite layer as well as corrosion resistance and mass change of the HA-coated AZ91 alloy. Electrochemical tests were performed to estimate the corrosion behaviour of HA-coated and uncoated samples. The results revealed the capability of the HA coating to significantly improve the corrosion resistance of the uncoated AZ91 alloy.

RESUMO

We studied the effect of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) on the extrusion of large, multilamellar nanocapsules (also called liposomes or vesicles) through nanochannels with a length of 6 microm. For the generation of the nanocapsules, we used a lipid mixture with lecithin consisting of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids (dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC)), cholesterol, and 2-8 mol % PEG linked to a lipid anchor (distearoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DSPE)) or the plain lipid anchor without PEG. An increase in PEG leads to a decrease of the critical tension for nanocapsule rupture (lysis tension) between 20-30%, whereas the pure lipid anchor does not produce any differences. We interpret these findings to be produced by a partial intrusion of the polymeric chain into the phospholipid bilayer of the nanocapsule which weakens its tensile strength. We evaluate statistically the discrepancies of lysis tensions found for different channels widths (50-100 nm) and two or four channels in series. Comparing our results on the flow resistance of either nanocapsules or pure water with lubrication theory, we find that the calculated viscous forces are not sufficient to account for the measured friction of nanocapsules. This shows that the nanocapsules are decelerated in the nanochannels by van der Waals interactions between channel and capsule walls and the intermediate water layer. The strength of these forces is 24 times higher for PEG and 94 times higher for the pure lipid anchor than the respective calculated viscous forces alone, showing that nanocapsule flow in nanochannels cannot be considered under the classical continuum assumption of the intermediate water layer.
