Research Abstract |
In order to improve the soft tissue biocompatibility of a biomedical titanium alloy, Ti-29Nb-13Ta4. 6Zr (TNTZ), segmented polyurethane (SPU)coating was investigated using silane coupling treatment. Dependence of silane coupling agent on bonding strength between TNTZ and SPU was investigated using three types of silane coupling agents. The shear bonding strength between TNTZ and SPU after immersion in ultrapure water for 30 days is the highest, when methacryloxypropyl trimethoxysilane (γ-MPTS)is used as a silane coupling agent. According to interfacial analysis, it is found that γ-MPTS exhibits high chemical stability so that it provides good humidity resistance.
