Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Titanium alloy surface modification with diamond-like carbon film can improve the friction and corrosion resistance of titanium alloy, but it is lack of biological activity. So fixing biological protein molecules on the diamond-like carbon surface is a kind of new biological chemical modification method.
OBJECTIVE: To observe the proliferation and adhesion of osteoblasts on the titanium alloy surface modification with diamond-like carbon/casein phosphopeptide composite film.
METHODS: Using unbalanced magnetron sputtering and multi-step assembly method diamond-like carbon/ casein phosphopeptide composite film was prepared on titanium alloy surface. The osteoblast suspension at logarithmic growth phase was seeded on the titanium alloy surface modified with or without the diamond-like carbon/casein phosphopeptide composite film.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the titanium alloy without modification, the adhesion and proliferation of osteoblasts were significantly increased after modification by diamond-like carbon /casein phosphopeptide composite film (P < 0.05). The scanning electron microscope showed the osteoblast body on the surface of titanium alloy increased significantly, presenting with rough surface, fuzzy boundaries, and fully stretched after modification by diamond-like carbon/casein phosphopeptide composite film, but the osteoblasts on the surface of titanium alloy without modification displayed smooth surface, clear boundary, not fully stretched. It is indicated that the prepared diamond-like carbon/casein phosphopeptide composite film can significantly increase the biological activity of titanium alloy.
