Study on β-TCP Coated Porous Mg as a Bone Tissue Engineering Scaffold Material

Fang Geng

材料科学技术（英文）

Three-dimensional honeycomb-structured magnesium (Mg) scaffolds with interconnected pores of accurately controlled pore size and porosity were fabricated by laser perforation technique. Biodegradable and bioactive β- tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) coatings were prepared on the porous Mg to further improve its biocompatibility, and the biodegradation mechanism was simply evaluated in vitro. It was found that the mechanical properties of this type of porous Mg significantly depended on its porosity. Elastic modulus and compressive strength similar to human bones could be obtained for the porous Mg with porosity of 42.6%-51%. It was observed that the human osteosarcoma cells (UMR106) were well adhered and proliferated on the surface of the β- TCP coated porous Mg, which indicates that the β-TCP coated porous Mg is promising to be a bone tissue engineering scaffold material.

New criteria of glass forming ability, thermal stability and characteristic temperatures for various bulk metallic glass systems

Materials Science and Engineering a-Structural Materials Properties Microstructure and Processing

Six mathematical criteria used for quantitatively measuring their glass forming ability, thermal stability and characteristic temperatures (temperature of glass transition T-g, crystallization onset T-x and liquidus T-l) of various bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) have been proposed in this article. It is found that the criteria are suitable for evaluating these quantities for BMGs. The estimated results are better than those calculated by Fang et al.'s models and Lu et al.'s gamma criterion, but our analyses indicate that these criteria, defined by the data (Pauling electronegativity xi, atomic radius ri, electron concentration ni and melting temperature T-mi) easily found in literatures, still need to be further refined in future research for shortcomings of the parameters.
