Bioact Mater 2024; 31:333-354. [PMID: 37663617 PMCID: PMC10474570 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2023.07.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2023] [Revised: 07/27/2023] [Accepted: 07/27/2023] [Indexed: 09/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Fe-based materials have received more and more interests in recent years as candidates to fabricate bioresorbable stents due to their appropriate mechanical properties and biocompatibility. However, the low degradation rate of Fe is a serious limitation for such application. To overcome this critical issue, many efforts have been devoted to accelerate the corrosion rate of Fe-based stents, through the structural and surface modification of Fe matrix. As stents are implantable devices, the released corrosion products (Fe2+ ions) in vessels may alter the metabolism, by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS), which might in turn impact the biosafety of Fe-based stents. These considerations emphasize the importance of combining knowledge in both materials and biological science for the development of efficient and safe Fe-based stents, although there are still only limited numbers of reviews regarding this interdisciplinary field. This review aims to provide a concise overview of the main strategies developed so far to design Fe-based stents with accelerated degradation, highlighting the fundamental mechanisms of corrosion and the methods to study them as well as the reported approaches to accelerate the corrosion rates. These approaches will be divided into four main sections, focusing on (i) increased active surface areas, (ii) tailored microstructures, (iii) creation of galvanic reactions (by alloying, ion implantation or surface coating of noble metals) and (iv) decreased local pH induced by degradable surface organic layers. Recent advances in the evaluation of the in vitro biocompatibility of the final materials and ongoing in vivo tests are also provided.

Zhou Z, Chen X, Hu X, Li S, Lv M, Xie Y, Yao H, Wang H, Bai X. Influence of Heat Treatment on Microstructure, Mechanical Property, and Corrosion Behavior of Cold-Sprayed Zn Coating on Mg Alloy Substrate. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 15:6721. [PMID: 36234064 PMCID: PMC9571842 DOI: 10.3390/ma15196721] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2022] [Revised: 08/18/2022] [Accepted: 09/05/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
The influence of post-process heat treatment on cold-sprayed Zn coatings on the Mg alloy substrate was investigated at different temperatures (150, 250, and 350 °C) and times (2, 8, and 16 h). Phase, microstructure, microhardness, and tensile strength of Zn coatings were analyzed before and after heat treatment. Corrosion properties of Zn coatings after heat treatment were investigated in simulated body fluid by using potentiodynamic polarization and immersion testing. Results show that although the heat treatment presented little effect on phase compositions of Zn coatings, the full width at half maxima of the Zn phase decreased with the heat temperature and time. Zn coatings presented comparable microstructures before and after heat treatment in addition to the inter-diffusion layers, and the inter-diffusion layer was dependent on the heat temperature and time. Both the thickness and the microhardness of inter-diffusion layers were increased with the heat temperature and time, with the largest thickness of 704.1 ± 32.4 μm and the largest microhardness of 323.7 ± 104.1 HV0.025 at 350 °C for 2 h. The microhardness of Zn coating was significantly decreased from 70.8 ± 5.6 HV0.025 to 43.9 ± 12.5 HV0.025, with the heat temperature from the ambient temperature to 350 °C, and was slightly decreased with the heat time at 250 °C. Although the tensile strength of Zn coating was slightly increased by heat treatment, with the highest value of 40.9 ± 3.9 MPa at 150 °C for 2 h, excessive heat temperature and time were detrimental to the tensile strength, with the lowest value of 6.6 ± 1.6 MPa at 350 °C for 2 h. The heat temperature and heat time presented limited effects on the corrosion current and corrosion ratio of the Zn coatings, and Zn coatings before and after heat treatment effectively hindered the simulated body fluid from penetrating into the substrate. The corrosion behavior of Zn coatings was discussed in terms of corrosion products and microstructures after immersion.

Development of a micro-scale method to assess the effect of corrosion on the mechanical properties of a biodegradable Fe-316L stent material. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2020; 114:104173. [PMID: 33160911 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2020.104173] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2020] [Revised: 08/04/2020] [Accepted: 10/23/2020] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
The application of biodegradable materials to stent design has the potential to transform coronary artery disease treatment. It is critical that biodegradable stents have sustained strength during degradation and vessel healing to prevent re-occlusion. Proper assessment of the impact of corrosion on the mechanical behaviour of potential biomaterials is important. Investigations within literature frequently implement simplified testing conditions to understand this behaviour and fail to consider size effects associated with strut thickness, or the increase in corrosion due to blood flow, both of which can impact material properties. A protocol was developed that utilizes micro-scale specimens, in conjunction with dynamic degradation, to assess the effect of corrosion on the mechanical properties of a novel Fe-316L material. Dynamic degradation led to increased specimen corrosion, resulting in a greater reduction in strength after 48 h of degradation in comparison to samples statically corroded. It was found that thicker micro-tensile samples (h > 200 μm) had a greater loss of strength in comparison to its thinner counterpart (h < 200 μm), due to increased corrosion of the thicker samples (203 MPa versus 260 MPa after 48 h, p = 0.0017). This investigation emphasizes the necessity of implementing physiologically relevant testing conditions, including dynamic corrosion and stent strut thickness, when evaluating potential biomaterials for biodegradable stent application.
