| Sumario: | Abstract In recent years, magnesium (Mg) alloys show a promising application in clinic as degradable biomaterials. Nevertheless, the poor corrosion resistance of Mg alloys is the main obstacle to their clinical application. Here we successfully seal the pores of plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) coating on AZ31 with Mg-Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) via hydrothermal treatment. PEO/LDH composite coating possess a two layer structure, an inner layer made up of PEO coating (~5 μm) and an outer layer of Mg-Al LDH (~2 μm). Electrochemical and hydrogen evolution tests suggest preferable corrosion resistance of the PEO/LDH coating. Cytotoxicity, cell adhesion, live/dead staining and proliferation data of rat bone marrow stem cells (rBMSCs) demonstrate that PEO/LDH coating remarkably enhance the cytocompatibility of the substrate, indicating a potential application in orthopedic surgeries. In addition, hemolysis rate (HR) test shows that the HR value of PEO/LDH coating is 1.10 ± 0.47%, fulfilling the request of clinical application. More importantly, the structure of Mg-Al LDH on the top of PEO coating shows excellent drug delivery ability. |
