A Study of PLA Thin Film on SS 316L Coronary Stents Using a Dip Coating Technique. Polymers (Basel) 2024; 16:284. [PMID: 38276692 PMCID: PMC10818791 DOI: 10.3390/polym16020284] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2023] [Revised: 01/04/2024] [Accepted: 01/05/2024] [Indexed: 01/27/2024] Open
Abstract
The dip coating process is one of the recognized techniques used to generate polymeric coatings on stents in an easy and low-cost way. However, there is a lack of information about the influence of the process parameters of this technique on complex geometries such as stents. This paper studies the dip coating process parameters used to provide a uniform coating of PLA with a 4-10 µm thickness. A stainless-steel tube (AISI 316L) was laser-cut, electropolished, and dip-coated in a polylactic acid (PLA) solution whilst changing the process parameters. The samples were characterized to examine the coating's uniformity, thickness, surface roughness, weight, and chemical composition. FTIR and Raman investigations indicated the presence of PLA on the stent's surface, the chemical stability of PLA during the coating process, and the absence of residual chloroform in the coatings. Additionally, the water contact angle was measured to determine the hydrophilicity of the coating. Our results indicate that, when using entry and withdrawal speeds of 500 mm min-1 and a 15 s immersion time, a uniform coating thickness was achieved throughout the tube and in the stent with an average thickness of 7.8 µm.

Abstract
Silk fibroin (SF) as a natural biopolymer has become a popular material for biomedical applications due to its minimal immunogenicity, tunable biodegradability, and high biocompatibility. Nowadays, various techniques have been developed for the applications of SF in bioengineering. Most of the literature reviews focus on the SF-based biomaterials and their different forms of applications such as films, hydrogels, and scaffolds. SF is also valuable as a coating on other substrate materials for biomedicine; however, there are few reviews related to SF-coated biomaterials. Thus, in this review, we focused on the surface modification of biomaterials using SF coatings, demonstrated their various preparation methods on substrate materials, and introduced the latest procedures. The diverse applications of SF coatings for biomedicine are discussed, including bone, ligament, skin, mucosa, and nerve regeneration, and dental implant surface modification. SF coating is conducive to inducing cell adhesion and migration, promoting hydroxyapatite (HA) deposition and matrix mineralization, and inhibiting the Notch signaling pathway, making it a promising strategy for bone regeneration. In addition, SF-coated composite scaffolds can be considered prospective candidates for ligament regeneration after injury. SF coating has been proven to enhance the mechanical properties of the substrate material, and render integral stability to the dressing material during the regeneration of skin and mucosa. Moreover, SF coating is a potential strategy to accelerate nerve regeneration due to its dielectric properties, mechanical flexibility, and angiogenesis promotion effect. In addition, SF coating is an effective and popular means for dental implant surface modification to promote osteogenesis around implants made of different materials. Thus, this review can be of great benefit for further improvements in SF-coated biomaterials, and will undoubtedly contribute to clinical transformation in the future.

Abstract
In the world, one of the leading causes of death is coronary artery disease (CAD). There are several ways to treat this disease, and stenting is currently the most appropriate way in many cases. Nowadays, the use of stents has rapidly increased, and they have been introduced in various models, with different geometries and materials. To select the most appropriate stent required, it is necessary to have an analysis of the mechanical behavior of various types of stents. The purpose of this article is to provide a complete overview of advanced research in the field of stents and to discuss and conclude important studies on different topics in the field of stents. In this review, we introduce the types of coronary stents, materials, stent processing technique, stent design, classification of stents based on the mechanism of expansion, and problems and complications of stents. In this article, by reviewing the biomechanical studies conducted in this field and collecting and classifying their results, a useful set of information has been presented to continue research in the direction of designing and manufacturing more efficient stents, although the clinical-engineering field still needs to continue research to optimize the design and construction. The optimum design of stents in the future is possible by simulation and using numerical methods and adequate knowledge of stent and artery biomechanics.

Abstract
Considerable implant materials are prone to cause a severe inflammatory reaction due to poor histocompatibility, which leads to various complications and implant failure. Surface coating modification of these implant materials is one of the most important techniques to settle this problem. However, fabricating a coating with both adequate adhesiveness and excellent biocompatibility remains a challenge. Inspired by the adhesion mechanism of mussels, a series of mussel-inspired polyurethanes (PU-LDAs) were synthysized through a step growth polymerization based on hexamethylene diisocyanate as a hard segment, polytetra-methylene-ether-glycol as a soft segment, lysine-dopamine (LDA) and butanediol as chain extenders with different mole ratios.The coatings of PU-LDAs were applied to various substrates, such as stainless steel, glass and PP using a facile one-step coating process. The introduction of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) groups can greatly improve the adhesion ability of the coatings to the substrates demonstrated by a 180° peel test. The peel strength of the PU-LDA100 coating containing high LDA content was 76.3, 48.5 and 67.5 N/m, which was 106.2%, 246.4% and 192.2% higher than that of the PU-LDA00 coating without LDA on the surface of stainless steel, glass and PP, respectively. Meanwhile, this PU coating has a lower immune inflammatory response which provides a universal method for surface modification of implant materials. Moreover, the DOPA groups in PU-LDAs could combine with the amino and thiol groups on cell membrane surface, leading to the improvement of cell adhesion and growth. Therefore, it has great potential application in the field of biomedical implant materials for the clinic.

Abstract
Over the last few decades, advanced manufacturing and additive printing technologies have made incredible inroads into the fields of engineering, transportation, and healthcare. Among additive manufacturing technologies, 3D printing is gradually emerging as a powerful technique owing to a combination of attractive features, such as fast prototyping, fabrication of complex designs/structures, minimization of waste generation, and easy mass customization. Of late, 4D printing has also been initiated, which is the sophisticated version of the 3D printing. It has an extra advantageous feature: retaining shape memory and being able to provide instructions to the printed parts on how to move or adapt under some environmental conditions, such as, water, wind, light, temperature, or other environmental stimuli. This advanced printing utilizes the response of smart manufactured materials, which offer the capability of changing shapes postproduction over application of any forms of energy. The potential application of 4D printing in the biomedical field is huge. Here, the technology could be applied to tissue engineering, medicine, and configuration of smart biomedical devices. Various characteristics of next generation additive printings, namely 3D and 4D printings, and their use in enhancing the manufacturing domain, their development, and some of the applications have been discussed. Special materials with piezoelectric properties and shape-changing characteristics have also been discussed in comparison with conventional material options for additive printing.

Sensitivity Enhancement in Plasma Polymer Films for Surface Acoustic Wave Based Sensor Applications. COATINGS 2021.

Abstract
Plasma polymer films (PPF), widely used as sensing layers in surface acoustic wave (SAW) based gas and liquid phase sensors, have a major drawback: high concentrations of the sensed analytes easily drive these films into saturation, where accurate measurements are no longer possible. This work suggests a solution to this problem by modifying the PPF with the sensed chemical compound to improve the overall sorption properties and sensor dynamic range. Thin polymer films were synthesized from hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) and triethylsilane (TES) monomers in a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) process using a RF plasma reactor. We used these Si-containing compounds because they are known for their excellent sensing properties. In this work, the layers were deposited onto the active surface of high-Q 438 MHz Rayleigh SAW two-port resonators, used as mass sensitive sensor elements. We call these devices quartz surface microbalances (QSM). In a second step, ammonia plasma modification was applied to the HMDSO and TES films, in order to achieve a higher sensitivity to NH3. The sensors were probed at different NH3 gas concentrations in a computer controlled gas probing setup. A comparison with unmodified films revealed a 74% to 85% improvement in both the sensitivity and sorption ability of the HMDSO sensing layers, and of about 8% for the TES films.

Abstract
Hydrogel coatings can improve the biocompatibility of medical devices. However, stable surface bonding and homogeneity of hydrogel coatings are often challenging. This study exploits the benefits of biohybrid hydrogels of crosslinked four-armed poly(ethylene glycol) and heparin to enhance the hemocompatibility of cobalt‑chromium (CoCr) vascular stents. A bonding layer of dual silane and poly(ethylene-alt-maleic anhydride) (PEMA) treatment was applied to the stent to provide covalent immobilization and hydrophilicity for the homogeneous spreading of the hydrogel. A spray coating technology was used to distribute the aqueous solution of the reactive hydrogel precursors onto the sub-millimeter struts of the stents, where the solution polymerized to a homogeneous hydrogel film. The coating was mechanically stable on the stent after ethanol dehydration, and the stents could be stored in a dry state. The homogeneity and stability of the coating during stent expansion were verified. Quasistatic and dynamic whole blood incubation experiments showed substantial suppression of the pro-coagulant and inflammatory activity of the bare metal by the coating. Translation of the technology to industrial coating devices and future surface modification of stents with anti-inflammatory hydrogels are discussed.

Abstract
In this paper, we present an overview of recent approaches in the gas/aerosol-through-plasma (GATP) and liquid plasma methods for synthesizing polymer films and nanoparticles (NPs) using an atmospheric-pressure plasma (APP) technique. We hope to aid students and researchers starting out in the polymerization field by compiling the most commonly utilized simple plasma synthesis methods, so that they can readily select a method that best suits their needs. Although APP methods are widely employed for polymer synthesis, and there are many related papers for specific applications, reviews that provide comprehensive coverage of the variations of APP methods for polymer synthesis are rarely reported. We introduce and compile over 50 recent papers on various APP polymerization methods that allow us to discuss the existing challenges and future direction of GATP and solution plasma methods under ambient air conditions for large-area and mass nanoparticle production.

Abstract
Materials used for medical applications (e.g., the cellular scaffold) should have not only the specific chemical composition, but the surface layer properties as well. For this reason, a method which enables an increase in the number of pores, wettability of the surface, and improvement the conditions of nutrient transportation into the membrane is being studied. The plasma of a dielectric barrier discharge was applied for the surface modification of polylactide obtained by dry or wet phase inversion. The plasma-modified surface was analyzed by contact angle measurements with water and diiodomethane. The surface free energy (SFE) was calculated by the Owens–Wendt method. The highest SFE and its polar component (67.6 mJ/m2 and 39.5 mJ/m2, respectively) were received when the process was conducted in an Ar + CO2 gas mixture with a discharge power of 20 W. The purpose of this research was to increase the wettability and porosity of the membrane’s surface. It can be concluded that the dielectric barrier discharge can effectively change the surface of the polylactide membranes, and that the structure of the modified membranes was not damaged during modification. The process of modification was easier for the membranes made by dry phase inversion. These materials had higher SFE values after the modification.

Abstract
The doxorubicin-chitosan composite is deposited electrochemically on the Ti alloy post hydroxyapatite coated for reducing the side effects by sustaining release of drugs localized near the tumor to achieve the inhibition or apoptosis of cancer. The possibility of danger in case of exfoliation of medicine composite and HA agglomerates from the alloy surface due to the dynamic erosion of blood flow could be overcome with the additional surface modification by the electrochemical deposition way. The cathodic polarization tests coupled with electrochemical reactions were analyzed to speculate the deposition mechanism of doxorubicin, spectrophotometer (UV visible spectrometer) to measure doxorubicin loading and release, field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) to observe surface morphology, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy for chemical bonding of composites, and X-ray diffractometry (XRD) for crystal structure. The cell culture was carried out to analyze the drug efficacy on cell viability. It is concluded that doxorubicin-chitosan composites can be successfully deposited on the uncoated and hydroxyapatite-coated titanium specimen alloy by electrochemical methods. Both have revealed the sustaining drug release for a month and the latter with high porosity can enhance the drug loading to 37.46 μg/cm2, revealing this electrochemical method is a practical way to load doxorubicin cancer drug releasing locally to significantly reduce the amount of medication needed for future clinical applications.

Abstract
The improvement in the research area of the implant by surface functionalization when correlated with the biological response is of major interest in the biomedical field. Based on the fact that the inflammatory response is directly involved in the ultimate response of the implant within the body, it is essential to study the macrophage-material interactions. Within this context, we have investigated the composite material-macrophage cell interactions and the inflammatory response to these composites with amorphous hydroxyapatite (HA), Lactoferrin (Lf), and polyethylene glycol-polycaprolactone (PEG-PCL) copolymer. All materials are obtained by Matrix Assisted Pulsed Laser Evaporation (MAPLE) technique and characterized by Atomic Force Microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy. Macrophage-differentiated THP-1 cells proliferation and metabolic activity were assessed by qualitative and quantitative methods. The secretion of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin 10 (IL-10) cytokine, in the presence and absence of the inflammatory stimuli (bacterial endotoxin; lipopolysaccharide (LPS)), was measured using an ELISA assay. Our results revealed that the cellular response depended on the physical-chemical characteristics of the coatings. Copolymer-HA-Lf coatings led to low level of pro-inflammatory TNF-α, the increased level of anti-inflammatory IL-10, and the polarization of THP-1 cells towards an M2 pro-reparative phenotype in the presence of LPS. These findings could have important potential for the development of composite coatings in implant applications.
